Description: I Dreamed I Was Normal: A Music Therapist's Journey Into the Realms of Autism by Ginger Clarkson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This is an account of a case study in music therapy in which the communication channels of autistic children were opened through Guided Imagination with Music. Publisher Description This remarkable book describes the progression of three nonverbal autistic music therapy clients from a state of inward frustration and an inability to communicate it towards a liberating ability to express, through Facilitated Communication, the thoughts and feelings stimulated by hearing and playing music. Ginger Clarksons method of music therapy involves creating a journey out of hearing a piece of music. Her clients, Jerry, Scott and Twyla are encouraged to create expressive dream images using music as a catalyst and are able to overcome spoken language difficulties by using a computer keyboard as a medium for communication. Through these detailed case studies, I Dreamed I was Normal demonstrates how the Nordoff Robbins and Helen Bonny methods of music therapy can be adapted successfully for use as an intervention for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). This book is a valuable addition to the literature on both music therapy and therapies for autism for families of people with ASDs and professionals working with them, music therapists and students in the field.
