In her second Book on the Orff Music Therapy, Gertrud Orff defines 77 'key concepts' of fundamental importance to an understanding of this multi-sensory therapy. A terminology is created that provides a tangible link to any child in need of therapy and enables the therapist to approach each child by means of an objective understanding of his complex condition. She illustrates her enthusiastic and provocative analysis with practical examples of children she has encountered during her work with music therapy at the Kinderzentrum in Munich. This book will be valuable both to the practising music therapist and to teachers, psychologists and all those interested in the ideas behind the Orff Music Therapy and their practical application.
