“…Beyond the profession of music therapy, the importance of therapists adopting mentalization approaches to increase the family's capacity for reflective functioning is highlighted in the broader research into family work across clinical populations (i.e., Dimitrova et al, 2016;Fonagy, 2012;Fossati & Somma, 2018;Kalland et al, 2016;Pajulo et al, 2012;Philipp, 2012;Solbakken et al, 2011).

Music therapists have described the importance of working collaboratively with family members in various populations throughout the history of the profession. Despite the growing amount of literature, not enough is known regarding the scope of theoretical perspectives and therapeutic approaches that guide family centered music therapy. The aim of this international survey study was to better understand the professional perspectives and approaches of music therapists who work with families around the world. This article presents the results of the survey where a total of 125 responses were analysed. Participants’ responses indicated that music therapy with families is well established as an important field of practice that includes a large range of populations across the life span. Music therapists working with families emphasise that the work is holistic and flexible, both in terms of the theoretical approaches that inform their work and the methods/techniques that are included in sessions. The participants in this study advocated for more continuing professional development opportunities to further deepen and develop their practice. In addition, the survey data offers priorities and recommendations for future research.
