Editorial Reviews

Review

I have been espousing Suzanne s theories of how to use music since I first heard her present at the 1986 International Creative Problem Solving Institute. I have given her book to hundreds of people in the U.S. and Asia who are teachers and trainers so they understand the importance of music on learning. It is easy to read, well researched, and practical. The appendix is a gold mine. --Geil Browning, CEO, Emergenitics International and author of: Emergenitics. Tap into the New Science of Emergence and Success

Our Integrative Healing Arts Program students are grateful for Dr. Jonas expertise in medical music therapy and guided imagery. They appreciate the clarity of her instruction, including her first-hand experience of clinical application within healthcare institutions. We have been providing Dr. Jonas book for our students for the past 7 years and, time and time again, they exclaim about how useful this information is in helping them bring both music therapy and guided imagery to the bedside to assist their patient s healing process. --Veda Andrus, EdD, RN, HN-BC, Vice President, Education & Program Development, BirchTree Center for Transformation, Florence, MA.

This review is from: Take Two CD's and Call Me in the Morning, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

This is an excellent book whether you are just curious or seeking researched and repeatable results. There is no fluff or filler. There is an excellent Appendix with References and Resources that allow the reader/researcher to gather additional information. Case histories are given and referenced. Because the basis of music as medicine is in quantum physics, rather than the author's personal "beliefs," you can safely take the contents of this book and "put it in the bank."

I recently heard Dr. Jonas present an extremely informative and entertaining lecture. If you are unable to do likewise, then by all means you need to read this book. I firmly believe that every physician, psychiatrist and psychologist should be required to prescribe a course of treatment that includes medical sound therapy before resorting solely to pharmacology and surgery. Of significant importance is the fact that there are no dangerous side effects from what may be the oldest form of healing therapy ever experienced by mankind. Therapists and Healthcare Professionals take note; this book can pave the way towards improved health and dramatic results.
