Music Therapy (häftad, eng)

Music therapy helps to support individuals' mental and emotional lives through musical exercises. Drawing on the work of Rudolf Steiner, Karl König, a pioneer of various forms of therapy within the Camphill movement, developed the basics of an anthroposophical music therapy, focusing on how the fundamentals of music connect to human beings.

This fascinating book brings together König's lectures, articles and notes on music therapy, most of which have never before been published.

In them he explores areas such as hearing, the nature of musical experience, the role of music in Camphill and music therapy for those with hearing loss.

Alongside the original writings, an in-depth introduction by music therapist Katarina Seeherr explores the evolution of König's ideas relating to music and music therapy, and how he inspired many musicians and therapists to develop this form of treatment.
