Co-authored book

Grocke, D. E. & Wigram, T. (2007). Receptive Methods in Music TherapyTechniques and clinical applications for music therapy clinicians, educators and students. London, Jessica Kingsley.

This book describes the specific use of receptive (listening) methods and techniques in music therapy clinical practice and research, including relaxation with music for children and adults, the use of visualisation and imagery, music and collage, song-lyric discussion, vibroacoustic applications, music and movement techniques, and other forms of aesthetic listening to music. The authors explain these receptive methods of intervention using a format that enables practitioners to apply them in practice and make informed choices about music suitable for each of the different techniques. Protocols are described step-by-step, with reference to the necessary environment, conditions, skills and appropriate musical material. Pbk 288pp 9781843104131 184310413X $53.95
