Music Therapy in Action by Mary Priestley is a seminal work that explores the practice and theory of music therapy through a comprehensive, client-centered approach. Building on the foundations of her earlier work, this second edition expands and updates the discussion on the therapeutic use of music, providing practical insights, case studies, and detailed analyses of music therapy techniques.

Mary Priestley’s approach emphasizes the active role of music in fostering emotional expression, communication, and psychological healing. The book presents music therapy not just as a clinical intervention but as a creative and relational process, highlighting how therapists and clients collaboratively explore and transform musical experiences to promote well-being.

This edition deepens the focus on clinical application, offering a clear framework for understanding how music can facilitate change in diverse client populations. It is designed for students, practitioners, and researchers alike, serving as both a practical guide and an authoritative reference on the principles and practice of music therapy.

Key themes include the therapeutic relationship, improvisation as a core technique, the analysis of musical interactions, and the broader contexts in which music therapy operates.

Whether you are new to music therapy or seeking to deepen your professional practice, Music Therapy in Action offers valuable perspectives on the power of music to heal, connect, and transform.
