Reviews

There is clarity from each author's contribution that inspires the reader not only to want to look further but also to use and adapt their individual thinking in practice. Wosch and Wigram have provided us with a clear and useful text that will be invaluable for practising music therapists, researchers, educators and students. -- British Journal of Music Therapy Microanalysis in Music Therapy provides ample evidence of the science and technology behind music therapy, and helps to bust the myth that music therapy means having a sing-along with your patients. Microanalysis in this context refers to the detailed analysis of events in music therapy sessions using verbal, musical and/or video data that can then be used to explore and document significant changes that occur in the process of therapy. Each chapter introduces a model or technique for studying one or more processes in music therapy and a context for its application. The applications range widely from developmental disorders, brain injuries and mental health in children and adults, to tools for assessment and education of trainee music therapists. The book is directed at practising music therapists, researchers, educators and students however, I think school music teachers, researchers and health professionals from a range of disciplines will find much of interest here as well. -- Drug and Alcohol Review
