Music Therapy and Group Work

Music Therapy and Group Work brings together the experiences of practitioners who use group music therapy with diverse client groups in various settings. Chapters discuss work with children, adolescents and adults of all ages, demonstrating the wide range of applications for group music therapy: in assessment for clinical diagnosis; in work with clients who have learning disabilities, special educational needs, eating disorders or autistic spectrum conditions; in neurological rehabilitation. Group music therapy is examined from different theoretical perspectives - including psychoanalytic and Foulkesian approaches - and in conjunction with art therapy.

The book combines clinical examples with theory to provide a comprehensive introduction to group music therapy. Practitioners not only of music therapy, but also those working in related disciplines, will find this to be a useful and stimulating read.
