Book Reviews of Sound Bodies through Sound Therapy by Dorinne S. Davis, MA, CCC-A, FAAA
"Sound
Bodies Through Sound Therapy
is a fascinating and educational read written by an
author who is well qualified to write a book about the differences between
various sound therapies.
Chapters 1 though 4: contain detailed information
about the physics of sound, the body's reaction to sound, the auditory
system and processes of this system. Factual and well written, this
intricate information is presented in terms a layperson can easily
understand.
Chapters 5 through 7: introduce readers to the various methods of
sound therapy, their creators, methods and case studies supporting the
techniques.
Chapter 8: describes the powers and uses of the voice. This
chapter offers medically based, but an understandable introduction to the
physiological functioning of the voice. This is an educational as well as
interesting chapter. Chapter nine discusses BioAcoustics, an
explanation of, "This Signature Sound," of an individual and how our unique
vocal frequencies affect us.
Chapter 10: ties the various therapies and the physiology of our bodies
together and how, "All of the physiological processes in the body are
interlinked by a large number of interacting and crisscrossing pathways."
Or, the how and why sound therapies and how they may stimulate the
voice-ear-brain connections. Chapter 11 relates real-life success stories of
sound therapies.
Although Sound Bodies Through Sound Therapy
is a little off the beaten track and may be seen as
interest to people involved in the field of medicine only, I found the book
worthy of my reading/leisure time. Most certainly, Sound Bodies Through
Sound Therapy will be of interest to any parent who has a child with
symptoms or a diagnosis of autism, apraxia, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia,
hyperlexia, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD or APD) or learning
disorders."
