Abstract

The Concert Therapy Framework presents the formal conceptual and structural definition of a non-clinical, music therapy-informed approach designed to support stress regulation and everyday well-being in community and cultural contexts. The framework articulates its theoretical foundations, regulatory cycle, experiential structure, facilitator role, ethical boundaries, and scope of application. It positions The Concert Therapy explicitly outside clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic domains while drawing proportionately on music therapy-informed and arts in health principles. The model is intended for preventive and restorative use in non-clinical adult populations, including community, educational, cultural, and workplace settings. It does not constitute medical treatment, psychotherapy, or clinical intervention, and makes no claims regarding diagnosis, therapeutic change, or long term health outcomes. This preprint serves as the foundational reference document for the model. Empirical studies (including completed pilot work and ongoing randomized controlled investigation) should be understood as evaluations of the framework defined herein, rather than as definitional statements of the model itself. The document is shared to support transparency, scholarly dialogue, and responsible application in non-clinical well-being contexts.
