Alfredo Zotti, a professional musician and bipolar survivor with a
university degree in social anthropology and three years study of
psychology, provides an introduction to music theory with specific case
studies of applications for Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, autism
spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, anxiety, depression and other
issues. Working primarily as a peer support counselor, his
person-centered methods are respectful of client's needs, abilities and
responses to music therapy. Strategies explored include both active
listening of recorded music as well as instruction in playing musical
instruments. Using patience and listening skills, you can - with Zotti's
book - begin your own journey of music therapy.
I congratulate Alfredo on this terrific summary of the ways in which
music therapy can serve a complementary role in the treatment of a range
of psychological difficulties. Anyone who is interested in promoting his
or her wellbeing, or the wellbeing of loved ones, will enjoy Music
Therapy: An Introduction with Case Studies for Mental Illness Recovery.
