Forty-two case histories, each describing the process of music therapy from beginning to end. The cases include children, adolescents, and adults receiving individual and group therapy in psychiatric, medical, educational or community settings.

The essence of music therapy is captured by telling the moving stories of people who have been helped through carefully crafted music experiences and the relationships developed with these exceptional music therapists.
