Kunst und Wissen der Musiktherapie

Music therapy as an artistic-scientific discipline moves within a wide variety of theoretical systems. Since its beginnings, traditions have been developed over decades in the German-speaking world with today’s enormous professional and empirical scientific knowledge. In many cases, the roots lie in humanistic concepts and psychotherapeutic approaches. Influences and concepts from the Anglo-American world are gaining in importance. This book summarises the contributions of the 10th Graz Music Therapy Day of the “Grazer Musiktherapie” (GRAMUTH), where the breadth of this knowledge was presented from four lines of tradition of music therapy, newer functional approaches as well as a current study and other contributions.

English summary: Music therapy as an artistic-scientific discipline moves within a wide variety of theoretical systems. Since its beginnings, traditions have been developed in the German-speaking world over the decades with an enormous amount of professional theoretical and practical experience and empirical scientific knowledge. In many cases, these roots lie in humanistic concepts and psychotherapeutic approaches. Currently, more than ever, influences and concepts from the Anglo-American world are gaining in importance. Nevertheless, the schools that have emerged in connection with psychotherapeutic concepts continue to appear as the more central approaches in the German-speaking world. This book points to the breadth of this knowledge, summarises central content-related and methodological core statements and can thus also contribute significantly to further basic research and teaching. Music therapy, like any scientifically based method, is in a constant state of transition and development. Theories are expanded and adapted to new findings, new theories have to prove their effectiveness. Empirical evidence and studies show that music therapy has also established itself within the framework of scientific discourse. The “Graz Music Therapy” (GRAMUTH) has also undergone an enormous development since its foundation in 2010 and was developed from an inter-university course to a regular Bachelor’s and Master’s programme in 2022. Since the beginning, with the exception of the first Corona year, the “Grazer Musiktherapietag” (Graz Music Therapy Day) has been held annually and is now an internationally recognised specialist conference. For its 10th anniversary, which was postponed by one year, the content and scope of the conference was expanded and the theme was the “The Art of the Old and the Power of the New in Music Therapy” with the call to “Let’s go!”, which also motivated people to continue in the wake of the Corona epidemic. Four lines of tradition in music therapy – depth-psychological and psychoanalytic, integrative, anthroposophical, and morphological – were presented by renowned representatives whose lectures and workshops covered developments and current state of knowledge. In addition, new developments such as functional music therapy with methods of “neurological music therapy” by young graduates of Austrian training programmes as well as a current research project on “receptive music therapy with depressive patients” and other contributions were presented. These well-founded contributions of music therapy, the description of their artistry, their background knowledge, the current state of knowledge of the respective schools and their methodology are summarised again in this book. German description: Musiktherapie als kunstlerisch-wissenschaftliche Disziplin bewegt sich in unterschiedlichsten theoretischen Systemen. Seit ihren Anfangen sind im deutschsprachigen Raum uber die Jahrzehnte Traditionen mit einem heute enormen fachlich theoretischen und praktischen Erfahrungswissen und empirisch wissenschaftlichen Kenntnisstand entwickelt worden. Diese Wurzeln liegen vielfach in humanistisch-geisteswissenschaftlichen Konzepten und psychotherapeutischen Ansatzen. Mehr denn je gewinnen derzeit zudem Einflusse und Konzepte aus dem anglo-amerikanischen Raum an Bedeutung. Dennoch erscheinen die in Verbindung mit psychotherapeutischen Konzepten entstandenen Schulen weiterhin als die im deutschsprachigen Raum zentraleren Zugange. Dieses Buch verweist auf die Breite dieses Wissens, fasst zentrale inhaltliche und methodische Kernaussagen auf und kann damit auch wesentlich zur weiteren Grundlagenforschung und Lehre beitragen. Musiktherapie ist wie jede wissenschaftlich fundierte Methode in einem stetigen Ubergang und Entwicklungsprozess. Theorien werden erweitert und neuen Erkenntnissen angepasst, neue Theorien mussen sich in ihrer Wirksamkeit beweisen. Empirische Belege und Studien zeigen, dass Musiktherapie sich auch im Rahmen des wissenschaftlichen Diskurses etabliert hat. Die “Grazer Musiktherapie” (GRAMUTH) hat seit ihrer Grundung 2010 ebenfalls eine enorme Entwicklung vollzogen und wurde 2022 von einem interuniversitaren Universitatslehrgang in ein regulares Bachelor- und Masterstudium uberfuhrt. Seit Beginn wurde gleichzeitig mit Ausnahme des ersten Corona-Jahres jahrlich mit dem “Grazer Musiktherapietag” eine mittlerweile international anerkannte Fachtagung durchgefuhrt. Diese wurde zu ihrem um ein Jahr verschobenen 10-jahrigen Jubilaum inhaltlich und im Umfang erweitert und hat die “Kunst des Alten und die Kraft des Neuen in der Musiktherapie” mit dem auch im Zuge der Corona-Epidemie zum Weitergehen motivierenden Aufruf “Auf jetzt!” zum Thema gemacht. Es wurden mit der tiefenpsychologisch-psychoanalytischen, der integrativen, der anthroposophischen und der morphologischen Musiktherapie vier Traditionslinien der Musiktherapie aufgegriffen und mit Vortragen und Workshops in ihrer Entwicklung und dem heutigen Kenntnisstand von namhaften VertreterInnen dargestellt. Daruberhinaus wurden neue Entwicklungen wie zum Beispiel die funktionelle Musiktherapie mit Methoden der “Neurologischen Musiktherapie” durch junge AbsolventInnen osterreichischer Ausbildungen sowie eine aktuelle Forschungsarbeit zur “Rezeptiven Musiktherapie mit depressiven PatientInnen” und weitere Beitrage vorgestellt. Diese fundierten Beitrage der Musiktherapie in der Beschreibung ihrer Kunstfertigkeit, ihres Hintergrundwissens, dem aktuellen Kenntnisstand der jeweiligen Schulen und in ihrer Methodik werden in diesem Buch nochmals zusammengefasst.
