In
1974, Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins engaged in their
final and most extensive teaching collaboration at a
hospital in southeast London. The entire six-month course
was audiotaped and the transcripts provide the source
of this study which illuminates the foundations of this
seminal approach to creative music therapy. The conceptual
and theoretical dimensions are presented through a traditional
expository format and the more personalized values and
world views of these two pioneers are presented through
the narrative device of theme statements. In all cases,
Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins speak directly to the
reader through the use of extended quotations taken
from their spontaneous interactions with the students
on the course. 1996 (ISBN 1-891278-37-1) 78 pages,
