Florence Tyson was a pioneering music therapist who was active in New York City from 1958 to 1995. This compilation of Tyson’s work includes previously unpublished material written by her and about her. Two of her most important, innovative, never-before-published case studies are included. Other unpublished information includes an unabridged version of a case study that was edited down for its original publication, transcripts of two extensive broadcast interviews, statements Tyson made at the Musicales that were presented twice yearly at “the Center”, and detailed information about the Musicales. Additionally, there is a conference presentation made about Tyson, and chapters written specifically for this collection. The compilation includes all published work by Tyson. The collection is presented in six sections: the therapeutic relationship, case studies, information about the Center, the use of music in treatment, interviews, and perspectives on Tyson and her work.
