Music therapy across theory and practice

The second edition of this handbook brings together foundations, therapeutic processes, approaches to practice, and clinical applications across mental health, medical, and community settings. Its integrated framework connects different music therapy approaches, while case material grounds the discussion in practice. The expanded attention to diversity, equity, accessibility, cultural humility, and therapist reflexivity includes work with racially minoritized, refugee, LGBTQIA+, and neurodiverse clients. With contributions from a broader, more international group of authors, the volume offers a wide-ranging professional reference on how music therapy is understood and applied.
