What I love about the MuSense approach to music therapy is its
absolute grounding in the human body: the anatomical parts of the
body, the brain's neuronal connections, the biological need human
beings have for companionship ... All music therapists who are
looking for a practical book that offers new ways to approach their
craft should find this manual of interest.

With a wealth of solid information and detailed explanation, Adler
and Samsonova-Jellison have provided valuable inspiration and
insight into reaching these clients who may at times seem
unreachable. I am excited by the MuSense protocol and the
opportunities it provides for this population who can so clearly
benefit from music therapy!
