therapist, but it also inspires and encourages to explore our own
voices as a way to the soul.

voicework techniques in the field of music therapy... In addition,
many chapters include beautifully described, client-centered case
examples... The intention of rediscovery is sensitively described,
and Oddy fills the chapter with musical notation of songs and
chants as well as helpful ways to adapt the research into a
clinical context... highly educative... Satomi Kondo (Chapter 13)
beautifully describes her psychotherapeutic work with a woman with
Parkinson's disease. Kondo brings a psychodynamic and humanistic
perspective by reminding us that "music therapy is not only about
solving problems"... For any music therapist who appreciates the
use of the voice, and for any music therapist who is looking to
expand their practice to include voicework, this comprehensive book
is extremely valuable. The greatest quality of the book is its
breadth. It covers a wide variety of vocal interventions and
populations and provides helpful, technical advice for
practitioners. It is a highly
significant and useful contribution to the field of music therapy,
and reminds all clinicians about the innate power of the human
voice.
