The book is intended for all those interested in the field of music therapy, i.e. professionals and lay people. In addition to music therapists themselves, doctors and nurses as well as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and other therapeutic disciplines will benefit from the book's findings. From the field of education, the book can inspire music teachers, but also special educators or teachers of ZU and, also those who solve difficult educational problems with their pupils.

Specialists in the field of social work can use the knowledge from the book in the activation of socially or medically disadvantaged people. The publication may also appeal to parents raising children, people in difficult life situations or those who want to work on their self-development in the form of music therapy.

The book clearly presents music therapy from different angles of its use in practice. At the heart of the book are the specific stories of people who have undergone music therapy for various reasons, in various health conditions and life situations.

In the individual chapters we learn about the use of music therapy in health care (especially in the field of neurorehabilitation, then physiotherapy, occupational therapy, training of cognitive functions, speech therapy, but also in palliative care). Other chapters are devoted to education, the social sphere, psychotherapy, care for people with special needs and a special music therapy method called Ikapus.
