Music Therapy: An art beyond words | Leslie Bunt, Brynjulf Stige
6 posts
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 narratives and detailed examples underpinned by selected theoretical and research perspectives. The final two chapters of the book reflect on the evolution of the profession as a community resource and the emergence of music therapy as an academic discipline in its own right. A concise introduction to the current practice of music therapy around the world, Music Therapy: An art beyond words is an invaluable resource for professionals in music therapy and music education, those working in the psychological therapies, social work and other caring professions, and students at all levels.

1. All things considered, I‘m feeling okay today.
2. Music always helps my mental health.
3. I‘m such a nerd, I listened to the LOTR soundtrack.

DebinHawaii I find I like “medieval lofi” when I‘m reading & songs from the LOTR soundtrack come up often. 🤗 1w
Kerrbearlib Late response again. I LOVE the LOTR soundtrack! My husband is a huge LOTR fan. We played music from the soundtrack in our wedding. I get a little teared up when I hear The Shire now. Such beautiful music. 11h

1. I don‘t feel great today, if I am being honest
2. Absolutely… music helps me with so much in life
3. I am a mood listener, when life gets tough I turn to hard rock

LoverOfLearning Been sick for a month and in a massive reading slump. Just started another round of antibiotics and steroids. Ick. I can't focus on read and can barely listen to an audiobook. Ugh. But yes music is essential to me. And my dad is a drummer in a small local band. :) 1w

Thanks for the #MentalHealthMonday tag @Kerrbearlib

1️⃣ Tired! Weird sleep last night & too many meetings today.

2️⃣ Yes, I use music to both relax & to feel happier.

3️⃣ 80s pop mostly, the sappier the better. My favorite playlist I named: “80s Sappy Makes Me Happy” (it‘s not all 80s-some 70s & 90s snuck in) but it‘s songs that bring back good memories & I like to sing along to. Linking below in comments. ⬇️

Anyone else want to share?

TiredLibrarian Nice playlist! That brings back some memories 🎵 1w
dabbe This bring me such JOY! Thanks for sharing! 💚🩶💚 1w

I have had the worst couple of weeks ar work. My boss, the top guy in our company aside from the owners, quit without notice. I've been crazy busy as a result. To keep my energy (and mood) going, I've been listening to my dopamine playlist on repeat. Part of the track listing is pictured. Music is my therapy. 🤣
