The resource-oriented approach presented relates to a broad, interdisciplinary landscape of theory including empowerment philosophy, positive psychology, and current musicology. The approach is contextual and relational. The relationships between therapist and client as well as between individuals and society are emphasized, building upon values of democratic participation and equality. Case studies exemplify the approach and provide multiple perspectives on the music therapy process
