Books by Katrina McFerran

The second edition of Receptive Music Therapy builds on the foundations of the first but provides a completely new rendition, replete with examples from contemporary practices and recognising the value of online music therapy experiences.Learn how music therapists select music from a wide range of diverse musical styles through both collaborative decision making and client-led approaches. Methods include focused music listening, playlist construction, lyric analysis, relaxation, music and imagery along with fundamental principles for receptive music therapy.

Helpful and accessible, the book explains the methodology used in music therapy, a topic that has been considered only briefly until now. The author presents an empowering approach to practice, discussing how the therapist can be placed in a collaborative relationship with the individual or with the group.
