Music therapy is recognised as being applicable to a wide range
of healthcare and social contexts. Since the first edition of
"Music Therapy: An art beyond words, " it has extended into areas
of general medicine, mainstream education and community practice.
This new edition revises the historical and theoretical
perspectives and recognises the growing evidence and research base
in contemporary music therapy.
Leslie Bunt and Brynjulf Stige document the historical evolution
of music therapy and place the practice within seven current
perspectives: medical, behavioural, psychoanalytical, humanistic,
transpersonal, culture-centred and music-centred. No single
perspective, individual or group approach is privileged, although
the focus on the use of sounds and music within therapeutic
relationships remains central. Four chapters relate to areas of
contemporary practice across different stages of the lifespan:
child health, adolescent health, adult health and older adult
health. All include case narratives and detailed examples
underpinned by selected theoretical and research perspectives. The
final two chapters of the book reflect on the evolution of the
profession as a community resource and the emergence of music
therapy as an academic discipline in its own right.
A concise introduction to the current practice of music therapy
around the world, " Music Therapy: An art beyond words "is an
invaluable resource for professionals in music therapy and music
education, those working in the psychological therapies, social
work and other caring professions, and students at all levels.
