with the increasingly important role of psychosocial interventions in the treatment of schizophrenia, many such interventions have been adequately researched and standardized so that they meet the criteria for evidence-based practice. music therapy is one such modality. however, there remains no resource to guide music therapists in the implementation of appropriate evidence-based techniques. this thesis develops such a resource, which matches psychosocial goals with appropriate music therapy interventions across domains of functioning. the resource has the potential to provide immediate and long-term support to clinicians. it may also serve as a template to guide music therapy research, by identifying applications which have yet to be empirically studied.
