This is an automatically translated description

The book Music Therapy for Children with Autism was first published in 1978. It was the first publication devoted to the influence of music therapy on the development of a child with autism, and is still one of the fundamental guides in this field.
The book describes in detail the specific methods of work of a music therapist with children with varying degrees of autism. The description of the psychotherapeutic process is systematised, the author identifies individual stages of work. The methods are accompanied by examples from the practical lessons of J. Alvin, who was one of the first to use music in working with autistic children. The book has been edited and supplemented by E. Warwick, Vice President of the British Society of Music Therapists. Much attention is paid to parental involvement, and ways of solving many problems in joint lessons are described.
The publication is addressed to music therapists, teachers, psychologists and other specialists - both those who already work with autistic children and those who are taking their first steps in this field. The book will be useful to anyone interested in helping children with communication disorders.
