by David Aldridge

This thought-provoking book is an inspiring addition to the literature on the use of creative therapies in palliative care. It presents the work of music therapists from many countries, including new voices to music literature.

A wide range of topics are discussed, including the context of music therapy in hospice settings, creativity and communication, songs written by palliative care patients, and working with children. There are also chapters on music therapy in working with patients with chronic degenerative disease, AIDS, and as a rite of passage with the dying.

This well written and highly readable book will be a valuable resource for the therapist, musician, or student seeking a broad perspective on the practical application of music therapy.
