Collaboration with Other Arts Therapies
At the EMTC conference in Aalborg in 2019, the Action Team focused on Collaboration with Other Arts Therapies presented the results of a survey conducted with 25 EMTC country representatives. The action team’s work then came to a close, but we would like to share the results of the survey here.
Interpret the next two slides with care! The bar charts show the number of country representatives who gave a particular answer. For example, Slide 3 shows that 18 country representatives said there were master’s degree music therapy courses available in their country, while only 6 said there were bachelor music therapy courses and 3 said there were no courses at all.
Slide 4 shows that 14 people said there was one music therapy association in there country, 3 said there were 2 associations, 4 said there were more than 3 associations, and 2 said there were none.
The Swiss organisation OdA ARTECURA, the umbrella association for the arts therapies in Switzerland, represents the diversity of arts therapies across disciplines and methods and advocates for their recognition, development, and professionalisation.
In 2026, Diandra Russo, EMTC Country Representative for Switzerland, initiated a conversation with Christina Vedar, Research and Development Representative of OdA ARTECURA, to gain insight into her perspective on collaboration, professionalisation, and future developments in the arts therapies.
