Synopsis

This work provides an extensive overview of music therapy activities which can be used in conjunction with related disciplines. Each activity is systematically categorized and then analyzed according to required skills and abilities, goals, procedures, and so on. The author offers a wide range of programs which can be adapted to populations of varying ages and abilities. Music therapy activities are presented with such categories as: relaxation, exercise, dance, games, music appreciation, art, musical instruments, bibliotherapy, drama, eurythmics, guided imagery, transactional analysis, music education and psychiatric musicology. "... a welcome addition to the literature of music for the handicapped child. It contains a wealth of material which teachers will find very helpful." -Lois Birkenshaw. "... recommended because it is comprehensive in its types of activities, it is applicable to many populations, and it is clear, concise and well organized. It is a good 'source book' for the field of music therapy." -Journal of Music Therapy. "... a valuable tool for therapists and students, not only for its organized presentation of activities, but also as a springboard or thought-starter for creating our own music applications in the therapy setting." -The Arts in Psychotherapy.
