Discover more about Music Therapy in France

Music therapy has been present in France since 1970 with the creation of the Association de Recherches et d’Applications des Techniques Psychomusicales (ARATP) in Paris. This development was initiated by Jacque JOST and Edith LECOURT. Since 2003, the university training centers as well as some private training programs have grouped together to form the French Federation of Music Therapy (FFM). This structure facilitates active exchanges between the members. The Federation works towards establishing a professional identity and a recognized status in France for music therapy professionals. All members adhere to a common Code of Ethics that assures the quality of the training programs as well as a serious and respectful clinical practice.

Essentially psychodynamic orientation (Pr Edith Lecourt), but also other approaches such as psycho-pedagogical, behaviourist, cognitive, psychosocial, etc.)
