We all know of the evocative power of music and its ability to transport us through vast emotional fields. It is this very property that makes this medium such a profoundly transformative force when dealing with disturbed states of mind - it reaches directly into our emotional depths. Transformation of Suffering Through Music and Symbol describes the psychoanalytically informed use of sound, music and symbol in the treatment of two very psychiatrically ill children, and their ultimate journey to recovery.
