title: [New paradigms in mental health and the vision from music therapy].
abstract: This paper aims to describe the vision of mental health from the standpoint of music therapy, framed by the National Law 26.567. First, basic notions about the origins of this discipline are introduced, as well as the criteria that inform its practice and the tools used by this approach, listening, analysis and the intervention in the mental health field. Later, the concepts of music therapy intervention and creative process are highlighted, providing some characteristics of the relationships that may arise between each of them and the mental health.
