There is a limited amount of research in French. Presently, The AQM, Concordia University and BRAMS are driving French research in music therapy and related disciplines.
We also recommend a TED talk by Kathleen M. Howland called “How Music Can Heal Our Brain and Heart”. She very clearly explains the scope of music therapy in her talk.
