Those art therapists who are particularly interested in the place of art in our therapy will find much to reflect on. Although Ansdell clearly states that he is not trying to present a comprehensive theory of music therapy, his reflections on creating, expressing, reflecting, recalling, and evaluating offer provocative questions for the creative arts therapist. Ansdell takes on these questions with clarity, breadth, and respect for the inarticulate nature of music itself. Ansdell has done a fine job of articulating the many ways that music engages the clients' experience of themselves, and the ways music serves to transform and transcend the isolation of the individual, connnecting them to themselves, their therapists, and music itself. What unfolds throughout Music for Life is a gradual understanding and comprehension of the quality of music and how the phenomenon of music is the therapy. This book and CD offer much to art therapists interested in the place of art in our therapeutic approaches. The music speaks, and Ansdell's questions and thoughtful commentary offer us as arts therapists the opportunity to once again appreciate the creative process which underlines our work, and to know that it is enough to "just" make art with clients. - Art Therapy.
