Professional context of Art Therapy
Art Therapy, Music Therapy and Dance Therapy can be studied in
Spain at different institutions and under different labels (Art Therapy/
Music Therapy/ Creativity Therapies). It is based on different theoretical
and methodological foundations (Psychoanalysis, Gestalt Therapy, basically)
and on different organisational practices.
Professionalisation
As there is still no professional recognition of an art
therapeutic service whose costs are covered by health insurances (as is the
case with medical care) there is no legally protection and independent
status for this profession.
The policy of the Art Therapist’s Association’s in Spain aims at
full professional recognition.
Academic education
The training of the Art Therapist’s is an academic one
and takes place at Universities (e.g. Madrid, Barcelona), as an additional
postgraduated qualification.
Further professional training parallel to one’s own occupation is
offered at private and public Institutions in Madrid, Barcelona, Vitoria,
Bilbao and Valencia (e.g. Summer Courses at Universities Complutense or
summer courses at Vitoria). The professionals trained at Universities are
compelled to permanent supervision and fully accept the requirements of
British Art Therapy Association. From 2004 there has been approved a Ph. D
Programme at University Complutense of Madrid as a multilateral agreement
among University Complutense, University Autonoma of Madrid and University
of Valladolid, for researchers in the field of Art Therapy that wants to
become doctors in Art Therapy. Up to now, the University of Madrid has
approved at least 8 doctoral thesis on Art Therapy, and there are an
increasing interest of researchers in this new field.
Situation of requirements
Clinics, rehabilitation institutions, Social
Institutions and Counselling authorities register a growing demand for
non-medical therapies using artistic-creative media. Increasingly, clinics,
Educational Institutions and Social Institutions employ Art Therapists to
complete their attendance teams (comprising physicians, psychologists,
social workers).
Consequences
Up to now, as a consequence of the increasing demand of Art Therapy
in different fields, the profession begins to be known through different
mass-medias (magazines, programs and interviews on TV, dossier on newspaper)
as an alternative way of counselling and therapy

Course philosophy
The master considers DMT as an interdisciplinary-integrative profession with dance-movement and psychology as its pillars. Not only in the theoretical, but also in the ontological aspect, it adheres to the psychodynamic contemporary approaches. Nevertheless we accept that there is not a single therapeutic approach that can answer to the needs of all the patients, and that the professional must keep an open attitude in order to know and respect other approaches. The master introduces the students also to the contribution of recent research in the different fields of psychology, anthropology, sociology and art.

degree or professional qualification (diploma or bachelor) in a health or
education-related field and/or music
- Personal interview
Duration of studies
Two years
of part time study which includes a minimum of 100 hours of supervised
clinical placement and 550 hours of theoretical studies.
Course Content
A) Musical competence includes: knowledge of instruments of
accompaniment, improvisation, ensemble conducting, composition, instrumental
arrangements, familiarity with a variety of repertoire and musical styles,
voice, dance, etc. as well as pedagogical techniques related to music
teaching which permit the adaptation of music to the varying levels of
different participants.
B) Clinical competence includes: ability to empathise, observe and

specific client groups, methods of evaluation, treatment design and

Course Philosophy
This programme is founded on the premise that a music therapist is
a person and a professional with a strong interest in music and its
therapeutic use in the assistance of those people with some kind of
necessity. The university-style training seeks to offer future specialists
the knowledge and skills necessary for professional practice, along with
methodological rigor and an attitude of continual self-improvement which
will permit them to become active in the development of the profession both
in clinical and in research areas.
This process begins with the training offered by the Postgraduate/Master,
and continues, once the qualification has been achieved, with further
training/ continuing education which is offered in response to the constant
professional demands for keeping up to date with current practices.
As good professional practice goes beyond technical knowledge, the
human dimension is also nurtured regarding not only the type of clinical
problems that arise but also the human component present in any therapeutic
activity.
