• For monitoring and evaluation purposes.
• For therapists and clients to identify areas of strength and growth.
• For clients to see a visual representation of their Journey of Change.
• To monitor readiness for discharge and/or referral into another service such as a community group.

Strategic beneficial reasons:

• To evidence the efficacy of music therapy.
