problems. The authors explain the specific considerations to bear

therapy clinicians and researchers. They provide many case examples
from clinical practice to illustrate the therapeutic methods being

In the past, music therapy work with children typically took place
in special schools without the family being present. More recently,
music therapy has become a widespread practice, and this book
reflects the variety of settings within which music therapists are
now working with children together with their families. The
contributors are music therapists with experience of working with
children and their families in a range of different environments,
such as schools, hospices, psychiatric units, child development
centres and in the community. They describe their approaches to
family work with client groups including children with autism,
learning disabled toddlers, adopted children and looked after
teenagers. Their experiences demonstrate that involving the family
in a child's music therapy can be beneficial for everyone, and that
it is possible to address relationship issues within the family as
part of the treatment. This book will provide useful insight into
the growing area of music therapy with children and their families,
and will be valuable for music therapy professionals and students,
as well as other medical and teaching professionals who work with
families.
