"The second edition of this gem of a handbook will be treasured by music therapists, instructors, and internship supervisors who want to take a deep dive into current topics and approaches in music therapy. The diversity of contributors, chapter topics, and settings and populations discussed is a highlight. The second edition emphasizes themes of diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and cultural humility that often have been lacking in creative arts therapy resources. This handbook will be invaluable for entry-level music therapists looking to orient and root themselves culturally in fieldwork; it also contains unique insights for more advanced therapists."--Joanne Loewy, DA, LCAT, MT-BC, Professor, Icahn School of Medicine; Director, The Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine, Mount Sinai Health System, New York City"This truly comprehensive handbook expertly bridges theory, research, and practice in a dynamic field. Authored by accomplished music therapists from around the globe, the second edition presents an in-depth exploration of clinical practice while emphasizing the importance of human diversity. Chapters provide foundational knowledge as well as opportunities to delve into specialized aspects of the discipline. With its thorough coverage and accessibility, the volume is ideally suited for use in introductory to advanced music therapy courses. Integrating cultural, aesthetic, theoretical, and practical perspectives, the Handbook is an indispensable tool for anyone seeking to understand or advance the practice of music therapy today."--John A. Carpente, PhD, MT-BC, LCAT, Professor of Music Therapy and Founder and Director, The Rebecca Center for Music Therapy at Molloy University"This second edition is a radical update that celebrates an expanded collective of authors, critical perspectives, and new ways of understanding what it means to be a music therapist. The insights and care offered by the editors and contributors sincerely convey their passion for the profession, while challenging music therapists to critically reflect on their practices and research. I look forward to sharing this handbook with my graduate students and personally engaging with the many prompts for discussion throughout the chapters."--Grace Thompson, PhD, Music Therapy Program, University of Melbourne, Australia“With an expanded editorial team and diverse contributors, the second edition of this handbook brings increased critical and dialogical perspectives to foundational and contemporary issues in music therapy. Incorporating more diverse perspectives simultaneously reflects changes in music therapy and encourages further change in terms of addressing themes of culture, aesthetics, identity, and dominant values. Discussions of power dynamics, implicit bias, and issues of access emphasize the integral role of sociocultural self-reflexivity in ethical practice. Discussion prompts, questions to ponder, vignettes, and/or further resources in a number of the chapters increase the book’s pedagogical utility as a text for music therapy courses or a resource for clinical practitioners.”--Susan Hadley, PhD, MT-BC, Director, Master of Music Therapy Program, Slippery Rock University-With the publication of the Music Therapy Handbook, the music therapy profession may be moving away from introductory-level textbooks and into more comprehensive texts that can serve a multiplicity of purposes in music therapy training and practice….This reviewer highly recommends the incorporation of the Music Therapy Handbook into current music therapy education, and predicts that it will become one of the foundational texts in music therapy training. (on the first edition)--Journal of Music Therapy, 5/26/2015Æ’Æ’This book is, without a doubt, a 'must' for any library as it is a vital resource for anyone interested in music therapy ….A rich and well-constructed book. (on the first edition)--British Journal of Music Therapy, 11/1/2016Æ’Æ’Lends itself well to use by students and professional music therapists, as well as non-music therapists with whom clinicians and researchers collaborate. Physicians, nurses, social workers, child life specialists, OTs and PTs, and other allied healthcare professionals may find the text particularly helpful….I highly recommend this book. (on the first edition)--Music and Medicine, 1/1/2016Æ’Æ’An excellent source for students and practitioners. Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty; professionals/practitioners. (on the first edition)--Choice Reviews, 11/1/2015
