Summary:
By working with an amateur recorder player and encouraging her to approach her music-making as “aspirational play,” Dr. Diamond is able to help her overcome her deep suffering. There is no need to deal directly with the patient’s psychological problems: these can be easily transcended when music is used in this manner.
