Recenzje

Music has always been used as a balm for ailing minds. Only recently, however, has it become possible to understand how music achieves its effects in our brains and why it may be a therapeutic tool in people with dementia. This book presents the state of the art of the field, showing how insights from cognitive science inform music-based therapies, illustrating the breadth of approaches and instruments and highlighting new directions. It is an invaluable resource for music therapists, psychologists and neuroscientists and for all caretakers of people with dementia."
