Therapeutic Voicework ― Principles and Practice for the Use of Singing As a Therapy

Based on his experience as a voice and movement therapist (in the US and UK) and running an accredited professional training course in the psychotherapeutic use of singing, and inspired by the story of a man who cured himself of mental illness by singing his aural hallucinations, Newham provides physiological, developmental, historical, and theoretical context for his integrated methodology of transformative voicework. Appendices offer further information on the Newham-Jungr Voice Movement Therapy Notation System, ethical guidelines, and contact details. Distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis.
