DescriptionThis course involves a Clinical Case Study Research in Music Therapy CPD Workshop and a certificate. Abstract Designing and conducting research that is feasible within the realities of clinical practice can seem daunting. Many clinical music therapists have limited time, funding, or institutional support to undertake large-scale research. However, clinicians often work with compelling cases, develop innovative approaches to meeting client needs, and have access to rich clinical data that can contribute meaningfully to the profession's evidence base.
