Die Heilkraft der Musik

This book, developed by practicing therapists, provides answers to these and many other questions. It explains, through practical case studies, the methods and areas of application, the healing successes, and the creative impulses of music therapy - from infant care to end-of-life support - and describes the positive effects on various psychological ailments across different therapeutic fields.
