Key changes and developments

Abstract

2015 has been a year of key changes and developments in Approaches bringing the journal into a new cycle of its life. In the summer of this year, the special issue on 'Music Therapy in Europe: Paths of Professional Development' was published. This issue of Approaches, as outlined in the respective editorial (Ridder & Tsiris 2015), brought many 'firsts': in addition to being published not only in online but also in print format, this issue was the first collaborative publication of Approaches together with a partner organisation - the European Music Therapy Confederation (EMTC). This has set the ground for future collaborations with other professional and disciplinary bodies.
