Beschreibung

The use of music in therapeutic practice in Turkey and the surrounding geographical regions is not a new phenomenon. Until recently, however, the music therapy profession, as it is known in the modern world, had not been institutionalized as a scientific discipline in Turkey. However in recent years, encouraging developments have started to occur in this regard. In this book, readers will find articles about the perceptions of music therapy in Turkey, the evaluation of the dichotomy of postmodernism and modernism in music therapy, an evaluation of Edward William Elgar's compositions for patients at Powick Mental Hospital, and music educators' role and place in music therapy, among others. The book represents essential reading for those interested in the field of music therapy studies in Turkey, and also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary studies.
