Introduction to the Interview for the VII World Congress of Music Therapy

By Barbara L. Wheeler

I am pleased to share the interviews on the VII World Congress of Music Therapy, held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, in 1993. This was the first World Congress that I attended and was thus significant in my international music therapy involvement, which has been important to me. You will see as you read others’ memories, also, that this was the first World Congress for many people who later became regular attendees and have had important parts to play in the development of music therapy. I will be sharing my memories along with others as part of the section. I thank Patxi del Campo San Vicente and the many others who have shared their memories of the congress for their help making this section interesting and informative.
