Music, Music Therapy and Trauma by Diane Snow Austin

Music, Music Therapy and Trauma by Diane Snow Austin

Music communicates where words fail, and music therapy has been proven to connect with those who were thought to be unreachable, making it an ideal medium for working with those who have suffered psychological trauma. Music, Music Therapy and Trauma addresses the need for an exploration of current thinking on music and trauma.

All the essays in Music, Music Therapy and Trauma are deceptively simple - the reader does not need a sophisticated knowledge of music to follow the arguments, nor a degree in psychology - but this is what makes them so appealing given the scarcity of material on this subjectThese essays should be treated as sparks to the kindling of thinking, as laying the foundations for more rigorous readings and theorizations. If the connection between music and trauma interests you, then this volume is a must'. -- Years's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory
