Özet

This article is based on the author’s qualitative research on his own clinical method by examining the improvised songs that were created by the therapist and client during one course of Nordoff-Robbins music therapy. The client had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, stage 4, and began music therapy treatment soon after.
