The professional ethics guidelines for music therapists have been prepared by the professional ethics working group established by the professional guild of the Finnish Society for Music Therapy. These guidelines ensure that the work of music therapists is of high professional and ethical standard. 

The instructions serve as a support for music therapists in situations where they must take a stand on professional ethical issues in client work, cooperation between different professional groups, and within their own profession. On the other hand, the guidelines protect clients/patients from inappropriate and/or harmful procedures.
