Reviews and Endorsements
The importance of this book cannot be overstated. Joy Gravestock has produced a seminal text in an area which is now widely recognised as one of the most important in contemporary health and social care. The text will prove invaluable to those involved in all areas of the adoption process, including music therapists, social workers, agencies, counsellors and adoptees and their families. -Dr Elizabeth Coombes, Course Leader for MA Music Therapy at the University of South Wales.
The book I would turn to when contemplating work with anyone affected by adoption. Accessible writing belies the complexity of knowledge and reflexive understanding integrated here. Vignettes illuminate the text like coloured glass, culminating in a profoundly moving case study. - Dr Cathy Warner, music therapist and programme leader, University of the West of England, Bristol.
