Music Therapy
An art beyond words, Second Edition

By Leslie Bunt and Brynjulf Stige

Music therapy is recognised as being applicable to a wide range of healthcare
and social contexts. Since the first edition of Music Therapy: An art beyond
words, it has extended into areas of general medicine, mainstream education
and community practice. This new edition revises the historical and theoretical
perspectives and recognises the growing evidence and research base in
contemporary music therapy.
Leslie Bunt and Brynjulf Stige document the historical evolution of music
therapy and place the practice within seven current perspectives: medical,
behavioural, psychoanalytical, humanistic, transpersonal, culture-centred
and music-centred. No single perspective, individual or group approach
is privileged, although the focus on the use of sounds and music within
therapeutic relationships remains central. Four chapters relate to areas of
contemporary practice across different stages of the lifespan: child health,
adolescent health, adult health and older adult health. All include case April 2014: 280pp.
