British Journal of Music Therapy (BJMT)

The British Journal of Music Therapy (BJMT) is a biannual, peer‑reviewed scholarly journal that has been advancing the field of music therapy since 1995. Published in partnership with the British Association for Music Therapy (BAMT) and distributed through SAGE Publications, the BJMT publishes a broad range of content that supports both practitioners and researchers. Its mission is to provide a rigorous yet accessible platform for music therapy scholarship that connects evidence, theory, and practice. Each issue includes empirical research, reflective essays, case studies, and critical discussions that deepen understanding of how music functions therapeutically across diverse populations and clinical settings. The journal values methodological diversity, welcoming work that encompasses quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research designs as well as interdisciplinary perspectives. Articles often address assessment and treatment programs, explore ethical and professional challenges, or offer historical and theoretical insights that enrich the discourse of music therapy. Being part of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the BJMT upholds ethical standards in publishing and peer review. As a biannual publication, it contributes to the ongoing development of music therapy as both a science and a clinical art, helping practitioners integrate research findings into meaningful practice and informing educators and policymakers about contemporary issues in the field.
