Reviews

Barbara L. Wheeler, PhD, MT-BC, Professor Emeritus, Montclair State University
The editors and authors in this book share experiences of displaced persons and how music and music therapy are being used to help them. I am in awe of the people, from many nationalities and situations, who are forced to confront displacement - and of the music therapists and others who use their skills and humanity to help them. This is an inspiring and necessary book as we struggle to deal with this ongoing challenge.
Simon Procter, Professor of Creativity and Mental Health, York St John University
How should music therapists respond to the rise of autocrats inciting fear, suffering and forced migration around the world? Reading this timely book, admirably inclusive in its content, would be a good start.
