Summary

Rich with case material, the second edition of this respected text has been thoroughly revised with many new contributing authors and 85% new material. The Handbook comprehensively explores music therapy theory, research, and practice. Chapters cover foundational concepts and therapeutic processes, major approaches to practice, and clinical applications with people of all ages. The second edition has a heightened focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and cultural humility. Expert contributors describe state-of-the-art practices for using music to foster clients' well-being and recovery in a broad range of mental health, medical, and community settings.
