Resource-oriented music therapy in mental health care / Randi Rolvsjord.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 233-257) and index.

Print version record.

This book is based on current trends in health care politics that emphasize user involvement, and positive aspects of health and quality of life. It offers a theoretical and empirical exploration of the idea that therapy is as much about stimulating clients' strengths as it is about fixing problems or curing pathology. The resource-oriented approach presented relates to a broad, interdisciplinary landscape of theory including empowerment philosophy, positive psychology, and current musicology.
