Ten years ago we gasped and held our collective breath. Music therapists slowly exhaled, gathered together, and set forth on a journey of healing and hope that continues today. The American Music Therapy Association, and our entire community of music therapists, takes this time to reflect, remember, and move forward in hope and peace.
 
The policy adopted unanimously by the Assembly of Delegates in 2010 states that AMTA and its regions will use acronyms only for academic degrees, MT-BC, other credentials (e.g., NCC, CCC-SLP), licenses (e.g., LCAT, LMHC), state registries (e.g., WMTR), National Music Therapy Registry designations until 2020, and music therapy professional designations from other countries. AMTA encourages its members to limit their use of acronyms to credentials and designations in this list.
 
From the author of Awakenings comes this heartwarming tale of a father and son who find a connection through the music that embodied the generation gap of the 1960s. An unforgettable soundtrack features the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and more. Special features include: audio commentary with director Jim Kohlberg, interviews with author Oliver Sacks, cast interviews, and deleted scenes. Order your copy from AMTA and help support the music therapy profession.
 
Far from being a simple exercise of playing music to a passive listener, music therapy today is defined by the AMTA as "clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions."
