Trade ReviewI really enjoyed this book as an opportunity to learn more about a field that is almost entirely unknown to me. If the book is anything to go by, the future of research into the interplay between music, health and wellbeing promises to be very interesting indeed. * Counselling Resource, Feb 2013 *
This book should be of general interest to all psychologists and, specifically, to music therapists and those with an interest in behavioral medicine. This volume is a useful compendium of a vast and diverse body of international research that is beginning to identify the mechanisms by which music has a profound effect on cognitive and emotional states.,, it contains many fascinating ideas. * PsycCritiques *
