A comprehensive international collection of writings on music therapy with premature and newborn infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

The purpose is to show the benefits of music and music therapy as a supportive intervention for hospitalized infants and their parents, by addressing the short and long-term development of the infant, infant-parent relationships and bonding, and the infant's unfolding ability to communicate. |
