Discussion of the music psychotherapy model: Analytical Music Therapy.Practitioners will share how AMT is currently practiced in inpatient psychiatric units and private practice, and how its theoretical underpinnings can be enhanced and adapted in the search of new paths of the integration of psychoanalytic principles in a music-centered therapeutic method.

Mary Priestley, a creator of Analytical Music Therapy, incorporated elements of her experience of psychoanalysis into AMT theory.
