| Summary |
The use of music therapy in children's hospices is burgeoning. This moving and extremely helpful text brings together the experiences of eleven music therapists working with children who are in the final stages of life-limiting illness. The contributors discuss the adaptation of the therapy to the hospice environment and to the individual needs of the patient.

The volume takes a holistic approach to children's hos. |
