In a society marked by structural changes, preventive services are more and more often performed in institutional contexts. In consequence, prevention is becoming an important task demanding professional theories from the social sciences as well as the educational and therapeutic professions. With its creative potential at the interface of art, pedagogy and therapy, music provides ideal opportunities for low-threshold, but at the same time highly effective, preventive services. Their methodical realization, however, should be rooted in an accurate understanding of psychological and group-dynamic processes. This book presents examples of music therapy projects in various settings and discusses the potential of music therapy in preventative care.

Die Beiträge dieses Buchs führen Sie an dieses in Fachkreisen kontrovers diskutierte Thema heran und geben einen lebendigen und theoretisch fundierten Einblick in die Wirksamkeit der musiktherapeutischen Beziehung. Die Autoren verdeutlichen Möglichkeiten und Gefahren intensiver Beziehungsarbeit in der Therapie und verweisen auch auf historische Annahmen und Irrtümer in der psychotherapeutischen Theoriebildung. Ein fachlich fundiertes, lebendiges Buch.
