Culturally Transformed Music Therapy in the Perinatal and Paediatric Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: An International Report

Abstract

In July 2014, an international group of music therapists presented a Roundtable at the World Congress of Music Therapy to offer insight into music therapy practice with hospitalized newborn infants in 3 regions of the world: German speaking countries, Asia and South-East Asia, and the Americas and Oceania. While not a worldwide overview, this article provides a snapshot of early, emergent practice inclusive of some regions that are yet to be represented in the literature.
