Moving beyond progress reports, clinical assessments and practical goals, this book brings to life the reflective aspects of music therapy. The result of a collaboration between New Zealand music therapists, it invites the reader to share their encounters in the therapy room through a wide variety of writings, including short stories, poetry and personal reflections. The addition of poems by a music therapy client adds a rare and innovative dimension to this book. Grounded in clinical practice, each piece of writing starts from the lived experience in the therapy room and conveys something of the ineffable elements of music therapy. Thoughtful, touching and featuring beautiful illustrations, this book will appeal to anyone looking for a more personal account of music therapy practice, including practitioners, clients and students.

Why Sex, Death and Motorcycles? Well, sex and death are obvious: there's no death without birth, and there's no birth without sex. We're all born, and we all die. Sex is something most of us enjoy sometime in between. As for motorcycles; well, a lot of people enjoy them too. And some die on them. There should be something here for everyone; or if not for everyone, at least for quite a lot of people. Feminists? Woman on a Motorcycle. Christians? Gerda. Academics? The Last Battle of Galleys. Those with a deep suspicion of government? The Last Funeral. Or if you're no longer in the first flush of youth, there's The Trick. There's probably something to offend everyone, too, if they want to be offended. But if you want to be offended: well, the title will probably have put you off the book anyway.
