A German anthology was published in 2004 to help bolster passive music therapy in a climate where active therapy had long dominated. In order to build bridges with their English-speaking colleagues, the therapist authors have translated 16 of the original 21 articles, and added two new ones. Among the topics are receptive music therapy from a psychoanalytical viewpoint, the guide-traveler relationship as a developmental relationship for the self, anthroposophic music therapy, and stories written under musical induction. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
