Abstract Details

2010, Master of Music (MM), Ohio University, Music Therapy (Fine Arts).
While a majority of music therapists report using collaboration in their music therapy practices, little information exists regarding how the AMTA competency on interdisciplinary collaboration is addressed within music therapy training programs. In order to investigate the teaching of this competency at the undergraduate level, a survey was sent to 65 music therapy program directors at AMTA approved institutions. The survey sought to identify and define the terms and teaching models used to address this competency, as well as its value and placement within the undergraduate curriculum. Interdisciplinary was the most commonly selected term to address the competency over the terms collaboration, multidisciplinary, consultation, transdisciplinary, and interprofessional. Definitions selected by respondents indicated confusion continues to exist regarding the definitions and use of collaborative terminology. Additionally, results showed that program directors strongly value the competency and that the preparation for interdisciplinary collaboration may benefit from more information on this topic. Collaborative definitions and teaching approaches are recommended.
