Music Therapy in Palliative Care presents some of the work from music therapists working in different approaches, in different countries. They describe their experiences when working with children and adults living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases. Music therapists, as clinicians, are strongly engaged with their clients: it is this intimacy which is so important for those who are suffering. In this book, the dedication of the therapist to allow and encourage personal expression in others, is reflected. It is of relevance, therefore, to all those involved in caring for the sick and the dying. While there are traditions of case presentation and musical excellence within music therapy, and a developing practice of research, the tradition of clinical writing has been neglected.

Music Therapy in Palliative Care - New Voices,
This review is from: Music Therapy in Palliative Care: New Voices (Paperback)
Anybody who is involoved with palliative care should read this book. I'm a music therapy intern student working with cancer patients and this book gave me good insights and new perspectives on practicing music therapy with people who are in palliative care. This book illustrates pracitce of music therapy in Europe and Australia but practiced models are very similar to ones in U.S. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the power of music in helping with people who are dying.
