The Berklee Library maintains their own database of open access articles and papers through our Research Media and Information Exchange (REMIX). This database includes two collections related to the field of Music Therapy:
The Berklee Music and Health Institute Research Collection contains scientific papers from 2000 to the present on topics related to music and health. Sub-collections include the topics of music and pain, music and mental health, and music and substance use/abuse.
The ABLE Arts Resource Center contains literature related to music education for student with special needs. Although the research is primarily focused on education, there is certainly overlap in the literature with music therapy.
