Music is everywhere in our lives and all analysts are witness to musical symbols arising from their patient's psyche. However, there is a common resistance to working directly with musical content. Combining a wide range of clinical vignettes with analytic theory, Kroeker takes an in-depth look at the psychoanalytic process through the lens of musical expression and puts forward an approach to working with musical symbols within analysis, which he calls Archetypal Music Psychotherapy (AMP). Kroeker argues that we have lost our connection to the simple, vital immediacy that musical expression offers. By distilling music into its basic archetypal elements, he illustrates how to rediscover our place in this confrontation with deep psyche and highlights the role of the enigmatic, musical psyche for guiding us through our life. Innovative and interdisciplinary, Kroeker’s model for working analytically with musical symbols enables readers to harness the impact of meaningful sound, allowing them to view these experiences through the clarifying lens of depth psychology and the wider work of contemporary psychoanalytic theory. Jungian Music Psychotherapy is a groundbreaking introduction to the ideas of Archetypal Music Psychotherapy that interweaves theory with clinical examples. It is essential reading for Jungian analysts, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, music therapists, academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, music studies, consciousness studies, and those interested in the creative arts.

Whether you want to learn to play, or you have children you would like to teach to play, this book is the answer to your search. Written by a concert guitarist who has taught university and private classes for many years. Recognized as a master teacher of music--and of the teaching of the joys and techniques of making the music through the guitar. Scientific research indicates playing the guitar benefits a child's emotional and cognitive development. It confirms that playing an instrument helps verbal memory, second-language pronunciation, the ability to read and write, as well as their cognitive thinking skills. Children with music training enjoy better academic performance. Some of the research suggests playing an instrument impacts intelligence including better scores on IQ tests. Of course, it depends on the intensity and duration of the practice time. Other benefits of music training, supported by scientific research, are the development of memory skills, greater ability to concentrate, improved motor skills, as well as improved calculating and pattern-recognition skills. Additionally, playing the guitar helps children develop goal-oriented self-help behavioral skills; such as breaking down large intimidating tasks into small achievable goals. Developing a step by step approach to problem solving leads to success; which, in turn, helps children acquire an appetite for self-discipline, which in turn results in achievement
