Handbook of Neurologic Music Therapy

Review from previous edition In a long overdue text, Thaut and Hoemberg have brought together a group of internationally acclaimed authors to synthesize the research, theory, and practice of neurologic music therapy as practiced present day. Grounded in theories of neuroscience and supported by rigorous research studies, the various contributors report on interventions that improve the health and wellbeing of a range of client groups * Felicity A. Baker, The University of Melbourne, Australia *
This is an excellent book. The field of NMTis rapidly growing and fast becoming a recognized and valuable part of neurorehabilitation programmes. This is the most comprehensive text on NMT to date. The editors have assembled a world class selection of chapter authors who cover all aspects of the therapy in a thorough and well-written fashion. Certainly the book is to be firmly recommended as important reading to any neurorehabilitation team * Michael P. Barnes, MD FRCP, Honorary Professor or Neurological Rehabilitation Clinical Director, Christchurch, UK *
This is a brilliant compilation of research, pragmatic information and professional expertise, illustrating the depth, nuance, and benefits of NMT. Outstanding! * Deforia Lane, Director of Art and Music Therapy, University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, USA *
This book is a must have for every clinical NMT. It is thorough, practical, and provides the most substantive collaboration of treatment information available in one book. I urge every clinical and educator to keep a copy close at hand. It will definitely not go unused! * Suzanne E. Oliver, Fellow, Neurologic Music Therapy Services of Arizona, USA *
