Music therapy is an established health care and human services profession that is dedicated to the implementation of controlled research studies to determine the underlying mechanisms in music that are responsible for therapeutic change, as well as clinical research to direct and guide the work of the music therapist. This growing body of research has enabled the music therapy profession to establish itself as a viable treatment modality for children in many areas, such as neurological rehabilitation and the use of music with premature infants. This book, a result of a project sponsored by the American Music Therapy Association and the National Academy for Recording Arts & Sciences, highlights research and evidence-based practice methods that are being used in neonatal intensive care units, pediatric burn care, critical care and mechanical ventilation, neurological rehabilitation, chronic illness, procedural support, and surgical support.

Children and adolescents who are hospital patients experience physical isolation and physical restriction during their stay in the hospital, which can evoke challenging emotions. These young people who cannot leave the hospital are denied access to a wide range of physical locations which they could be exploring for purposes of learning and play, such as outdoor environments. The practice of music therapy can lend itself to addressing the emotional hardship faced by these patients. This project explicates a music therapy protocol directed towards working with challenging emotions which result from physical isolation and physical restriction in the hospital by combining musical interaction between patient and music therapist with recordings from outdoor environments. Recommendations for music therapy interventions based in the protocol are founded in music therapy methods and are aimed to soothe the emotional symptoms which can arise as a result of isolation, such as loss, helplessness, hopelessness or disconnection (Alvarez et. al, 2020; GuÌ8rcan et. al, 2020; Lapp et. al, 2021; Souza et. al, 2021). In order to create the protocol, a literature review was executed which integrated scholarly work relating to the mental and emotional health of hospitalized children and adolescents, music therapy, technology in music therapy, and benefits on human health and well-being derived from immersion in outdoor environments. The result is a series of steps a music therapist can take which culminates in the coalescence of recordings of green spaces with digital music-making platforms and acoustic instruments, which has the potential to bring the animate freedom of outdoor expression into an indoor container. Interventions generated from the protocol can hopefully soothe the emotions which surface as a result of not being able to leave the hospital. Included is an overview of the proposed protocol itself with ideas for interventions as well as limitations and ideas of possible avenues for research.

This book is a comprehensive text on the all-important psychosocial aspects of cancer in children. Edited by an experienced psycho-oncologist and an equally experienced pediatric oncologist, the book brings together an international group of contributors composed of pediatric oncologists and psychologists/psycho-oncologists. This unique balance of contributors gives the book a focus on the real-life practical aspects of children undergoing treatment for cancer. The book helps health care professionals, who look after children and adolescents with cancer, in dealing with the difficult and complex problems that face the child, his siblings and his parents. It deals with critical issues such as the neuropsychological impact of treatment, (including bone marrow transplantation), pain, quality of life in survivors, palliative care, talking to children and their families about death, and providing support to the dying. An important part of the book provides tools for evaluation and methods of psychological intervention. It is thus a very practical work for psycho-oncologists, pediatric oncologists, pediatricians, psychologists, nurses, social workers and art therapists dealing with the problems that children with cancer have to confront. A comprehensive book on the clinical approach to psychosocial problems of children with cancer Includes evaluation tools and psychological intervention techniques Contributions from both pediatric oncologists and psycho-oncologists highlight the team approach to the treatment of childhood cancers
