Note:"Anxiety can be a debilitating illness that impacts an individual on multiple levels. Examining anxiety in both the societal and individual context, this book places it in the context of the music therapy room. Rebecca Zarate's research on anxiety is illustrated through case studies of anxiety and advanced trauma in young people, which demonstrate both the symptoms and treatment of anxiety. Methods and techniques of working with anxiety in music therapy are provided, with a focus on clinical improvisation. As the very first text of its kind, this book will provide essential insight for any music therapist and student of music therapy working with clients who experience anxiety and related disorders."-- Provided by publisher.
