Editorial Reviews
Review
This is an excellent book. The field of NMTis rapidly growing and fast becoming a recognized and valuable part of neurorehabilitation programmes. This is the most comprehensive text on NMT to date. The editors have assembled a world class selection of chapter authors who cover all aspects of the therapy in a thorough and well-written fashion. Certainly the book is to be firmly recommended as important reading to any neurorehabilitation team ―
Michael P. Barnes, MD FRCP, Honorary Professor or Neurological Rehabilitation Clinical Director, Christchurch, UKThis is a brilliant compilation of research, pragmatic information and professional expertise, illustrating the depth, nuance, and benefits of NMT. Outstanding! ―
Deforia Lane, Director of Art and Music Therapy, University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, USAThis book is a must have for every clinical NMT. It is thorough, practical, and provides the most substantive collaboration of treatment information available in one book. I urge every clinical and educator to keep a copy close at hand. It will definitely not go unused! ―
