This article provides an overview of the history and development of music therapy in the Chinese medical setting. It also describes a pilot project established by a Western-trained music therapist in a Chinese psychiatric hospital in 2013. The project aimed to explore how to apply music therapy based on Chinese cultural needs; educate and inform participants (medical staff, patients, and families) about issues and potentials related to mental health; clarify common misunderstandings using contemporary music therapy perspectives; and engage patients in different music therapy models to improve their functioning. The project has been ongoing for four years and has produced promising outcomes. The challenges arising from the integration of Chinese and Western cultures are also discussed in this article.
本文介绍了音乐治疗在中国医疗领域中的历史和发展现状。2013年，一位在西方受训的音乐治疗师加入中国无锡的一家精神病医院，并开始尝试建立符合中国国情的医疗音乐治疗项目。该项目主要探索如何建立满足中国文化需要的音乐治疗体系；如何将西方的人本理念引入中国的精神病医疗体系；如何用当代音乐治疗理念解释过去在中国音乐治疗界存在的一些误解；以及如何创造性地运用西方常用的音乐治疗技术帮助中国患者实现康复目标。该项目已持续四年，并取得了一些良好的成果，且仍在继续进行中。此外，文章还讨论了在中西文化融合过程中所面临的各种挑战。
