Abstract
In this article the clinical and political implications of empowerment philosophy are elaborated with music therapy practices in mental health services as the point of departure.

Empowerment is connected to a resource–oriented perspective on music therapy that implies a focus upon the client's strengths and potentials and emphasizes the importance of collaboration and equality in the relationship between therapist and client.
