Reviews and Endorsements

The second edition of this gem of a handbook will be treasured by music therapists, instructors, and internship supervisors who want to take a deep dive into current topics and approaches in music therapy. The diversity of contributors, chapter topics, and settings and populations discussed is a highlight. The second edition emphasizes themes of diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and cultural humility that often have been lacking in creative arts therapy resources. This handbook will be invaluable for entry-level music therapists looking to orient and root themselves culturally in fieldwork; it also contains unique insights for more advanced therapists.
