Introduction to Approaches in Music Thearpy (Second Edition)

Synopsis

The intent of all approaches is to stimulate positive changes in clients through music, although some approaches emphasize changes in specific areas of human functioning: cognitive, physical, psychological, or social.

All of the approaches depend on the appeal and influence of music to bring about changes in clients, all of the approaches provide valid avenues for the therapeutic work, and all of the approaches require training to be used effectively. The differences in approaches are suited to the diversity of practicing clinicians and the clients they serve.

The book is organized into three major sections: Approaches Adapted from Music Education, Psychotherapeutic Approaches to Music Therapy, and Medical Approaches to Music Therapy. The organization of the chapters is similar. Chapters begin with an overview of a specific approach to music therapy. Also included in each chapter is the history or background of the approach, description of the approach including philosophical orientation, clinical applications of the approach, related research, summary or conclusions, and suggestions for further reading.

Written for entering undergraduate or graduate students in music therapy, Introduction to Approaches in Music Therapy, presents the major approaches to music therapy used today.
