Recenzii
Overall, the volume persuasively makes its case; various chapters present evidence that suggests music is one of the most effective non-pharmacological interventions for AD-type dementia.
This unique and long-awaited scholarly book emphasizes the substantial contribution music can make for people with dementia. It combines neuroscience, music therapy, and psychology in one informative volume. It explains why music is important in dementia, drawing upon scientifically rigorous studies and case material to substantiate what we know."
There is an urgent need to train professionals and carers in effective non-pharmacological interventions to support the increasing number of people living with dementia. Music and Dementia: From Cognition to Therapy presents a long-awaited series of cutting-edge research studies and commentary that examine the use of music in the lives of people living with dementia. Of special importance is the close examination of neural and social mechanisms that are activated during music engagement experiences."
Music has always been used as a balm for ailing minds. Only recently, however, has it become possible to understand how music achieves its effects in our brains and why it may be a therapeutic tool in people with dementia. This book presents the state of the art of the field, showing how insights from cognitive science inform music-based therapies, illustrating the breadth of approaches and instruments and highlighting new directions. It is an invaluable resource for music therapists, psychologists and neuroscientists and for all caretakers of people with dementia."
