Within the last decade music therapists have developed their work with the elderly and people with dementia. Drawing on the diverse research and considerable personal experience of contributors from around the world, Music Therapy in Dementia Care takes a comprehensive look at the use of music therapy with the elderly and dementia sufferers. It looks as some of the issues which may arise working with this group, such as coping with war time memories, and shows how beneficial music therapy can be for these people. This is a fresh, original book which will be an interesting and informative read for anyone working with dementia sufferers in a therapeutic context, and an essential resource for music therapists working with this population.
