Book Description
A collection of 21 case studies exemplifying psychodynamic music therapy, informed variously by the theories of Freud, Jung, Klein, Winnicott, Stern, Kohut, Mahler, Bion, and others. Experienced music therapists from 9 countries describe their work with children, adolescents, and adults, using diverse methods, such as improvisation, songs, music imaging, and music listening. A central theme in the book is how transference, countertransference, resistance, and defenses are manifested in the musical relationship between therapist and client. Engagingly written, these case studies capture the depth and far-reaching possibilities of music psychotherapy.
