Music Therapy with Adults with Learning Disabilities explores how
music therapists work in partnership with people with learning
disabilities to encourage independence and empowerment and to
address a wide variety of everyday issues and difficulties.
Comprehensive and wide-ranging, this book describes in detail
the role and work of the music therapist with adults with learning
disabilities. Many clinical examples are used, including casework
with people with autism, asperger's syndrome, profound and multiple
learning disabilities and a dual diagnosis of learning disability
and mental health problems. The book also explores issues of team
work and collaborative working, considering how music therapists
and their colleagues can best work together. The chapters are
grouped into four sections; an introduction to current music
therapy work and policy in the area, clinical work with
individuals, clinical work with groups, and collaborative and team
work. Guidelines for good practice are also provided.
This is a thought-provoking and topical text for all those
involved in work with adults with learning disabilities; it is
essential reading for music therapists and fellow professionals,
carers, policy makers and students
