摘要：Adolescents, Music and Music Therapy is an invaluable resource for newly qualified music therapists and trainees, as well as for established music therapists and others interested in how music can benefit young people. Katrina McFerran uses her twenty years of experience to compile together a strong theoretical framework, supported by case studies, vignettes and practical solutions. As a newly qualified music therapist, I have been working for two years with adolescents who have witnessed or experienced abuse. As my role is new to me, I often question if what I am doing is ‘right’ and constantly trying to ensure that I am providing the best I can within the ‘chaos’. By this I mean the complexities that have to be negotiated; liaising with a number of other professionals, working with the families and trying to support the young person can become stressful and chaotic. I feel I can admit to this is because Katrina McFerran admits to it too. Writing with such an honest approach, the author captures one’s attention immediately. The recognition of the importance of the therapist’s health and wellbeing is valued as much as the clients’ is. Adolescents, Music and Music Therapy feels like supervision sessions, lectures and conversations with colleagues are all compiled into one book.
