Music Therapy in Death and Grief consists of ten chapters. Seven chapters provide description and analysis of clinical cases, based on the therapeutic experience of the author over the last forty-four years. The cases are reflective of the specific situation in present Israeli society. Three other chapters examine the role of Israeli songs in coping with collective and personal grief, and specifically address the relation between art music, death, and grief, and the grief of the therapist over patients who have passed away. The book deals with a variety of diagnoses, populations, ages, psychomedical theories, and approaches.
