Medical Music Therapy: Building a Comprehensive Program

As the evidence-base for medical music therapy has increased, so has the demand for music therapy services. Today, medical music therapists work in hospitals, cancer centers, and rehabilitation centers across the U.S. providing services to populations that would have been unheard of even a decade ago. This book brings together cutting edge practices from medical music therapy clinicians and educators across the country and provides information on evidence-based clinical applications with a variety of medical populations, program development, student supervision, and psycho-social/culturally driven, patient-family centered care. This resource serves as a broad-based overview of medical music therapy; it provides valuable information for experienced medical music therapists, students, clinicians, and administrators alike.
