Music therapy is growing internationally to be one of the leading
evidence-based psychosocial allied health professions, meeting
needs right across the lifespan. Music therapy is a relational
therapy in which the therapist and client collaborate to discover
how music can be used to strengthen positive relating skills,
attending to the client's immediate and longer term needs through
assessment, treatment planning, implementation, and evaluation of a
music therapy programme. Music therapy is based upon the capacity
of music provided by a trained and qualified practitioner to
support, integrate, and heal trauma, pain, psychological distress,
and to develop and extend the existing capacities of the client. In
the Oxford Handbook of Music Therapy, international leaders in the
field from 10 countries have contributed their expertise to
showcase contemporary music therapy. They share knowledgable
perspectives from multiple models of music therapy that have
developed throughout the world, including Nordoff-Robbins Music
Therapy, The Field of Play, Community Music Therapy, and Resource
Oriented Music Therapy. There is extensive information provided as
to how music therapists practice and with whom, as well as the
techniques used in music therapy individually and in groups, the
research basis for the work, and professional and training issues
in the field. The book is clearly laid out in five sections;
contexts and populations, models and approaches, methods and
techniques, research methods, and training and professional issues.
Course materials can be structured around the book, or the book can
be used as a starting point for students' learning about a model or
population. Music therapy students will enjoy the clear
descriptions of practice, the clinical vignettes, and the helpful
pointers and tips for developing placement work. Unequalled in
depth and breadth, this landmark publication is an essential
resource for those starting out in Music Therapy, as well as for
experienced practitioners.
