Sommario/riassunto

This study gives an overview of the intermediation of worker remittance flows from the United States to Guatemala.

Sommario/riassunto

Gilbertson and Aldridge demonstrate how music therapy can be used to attend to the holistic, rather than purely functional, needs of people affected by severe head trauma. This book will give clinicians key notes for practice and a vision of the integral role music therapy can have in the successful rehabilitation from brain injury.
