Diana Asbridge — Interviewed by Mary Simmons

Diana Asbridge has been APMT Administrator for the past 16 years, and plans to retire in the autumn of 2003. Here she looks back on those years, remembering how the Association has grown from a small group of music therapists struggling to achieve recognition for their profession to its present-day strongly established role working for music therapists.

Mary Simmons works freelance within music therapy with both the young and the elderly, with special interest in acute mental health. She is a past APMT Chair, at the time overseeing state registration and the advent of CPD. She is currently Vice-Chair of the BSMT and a member of APMT's Advisory Council.
