Produktbeschreibung
Music therapy has long been regarded as a useful form of intervention with people with developmental disabilities. It is now being practiced increasingly in medical settings as well. This new collection, bringing together work by some of the world's leading music therapists, focuses on this area and on the growing interest in using music therapy in pediatrics and neurology. It includes accounts of work with autistic clients, abused children, the neurologically-impaired, hospitalized infants and premature babies, and develops both theory and practice. Reflecting on the challenges this area of work will bring to music therapists and the growing importance of training, the book concludes with a section on supervision and education.
