The contributors adapt music therapy to hospice environments and
explore key concerns for all practitioners, including how to
empower ill children and their families, how to help bereaved
siblings, and how the therapists themselves find support. The
book celebrates the communities created through an inclusive
music therapy practice with children, their families and hospice
staff.
