Episodes of Relationship Completion Through Song. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, May 2009, Pages: 356
Music therapy offers an alternative treatment to
address physical and psychological issues with which
dying persons are faced. Relationship completion is
often overlooked in patient care plans, and there is
a lack of academic literature on how health care
practitioners may help facilitate this work. This
book sheds light on this area and presents a review
of relevant literature alongside four case studies
of dying persons and their significant relations, as
they engaged in music therapy sessions. Through the
use of narrative research methods the author
illuminates the complexity held within the multiple
data sources that informed each case study. The
knowledge that emerged from each case informed a
cross-case analysis where global themes were
identified and process motifs arising from the
progression of participant engagement in music
therapy are described. The book concludes with a
summary of the knowledge revealed and a discussion
of implications for music therapists and health care
professionals. This book is an invaluable resource
for all health care practitioners working in
palliative care who want to elevate their clinical
evidence-based practice.
