Research and clinical work are often perceived as opposites in the field of music therapy. This book shows, for the first time, how these two areas of work can creatively complement one another, proving beneficial to both disciplines. Each chapter is written by a leading researcher and practitioner in the field, and the book covers a wide spectrum of approaches within different settings. Beginning with methodological and musicological approaches to case studies, the book then moves on to more specific topics such as the use of case studies in an interactive play setting and in music therapy with the elderly. Later chapters explore theoretical aspects, looking at a worked example of music and progressive change during therapy, and how case study designs can be used in practice. A must for all professionals working and studying within the music therapy area, this is also an informative and useful book for health researchers.

"There are marvelous case studies in the music therapy literature that paint a beautiful, complex picture of the client's therapeutic process in music therapy. Clinical Decision-making in Music Therapy, however, offers cases that are not just about the client and their therapeutic process, but specifically about the music therapist's clinical choices and why they made them in relation to the needs of the client. This book contains 53 cases from music therapy clinicians from around the world including work with diverse clientele from across the lifespan in a wide variety of settings. Each case includes a discussion of the music therapist's clinical choices, their reflection on the case, and a description of their context in relation to their clinical work. Cases are arranged according to the method-variation used, with additional sections that focus on a transition from one method-variation to another. Students will find these cases useful for exploring and understanding clinical decision-making for working with clientele with unique strengths and needs. Professionals may find the cases useful for expanding their ways of thinking and acting within their clinical work, and deepening their awareness of how they respond to the emergent needs of clients"--

Melody is thought to be an 'essential core' of music. In the context of music therapy, looking at how patients develop their own melodies in improvisation can explain how they find their own voice, determine their position in relation to the world, and play an important role in how they relate to their therapist. Gudrun Aldridge and David Aldridge explore the concept of melody within its historical context and investigate current theories of melody. They make recommendations for choosing an appropriate method of analysing melodic improvisation, and utilise case studies to demonstrate these analyses in practice. They show how the interaction between patient and therapist is affected by the patient's melodic statements, and how the process of improvisation offers patients a chance to transform their inner emotions into externalised expressions. Melody in Music Therapy is an important addition to music therapy literature, and will be of interest to music therapists, educators and students alike, as well as musicologists.
