Portland Book Review on Alfredo Zotti’s “Music Therapy”

Music is like receiving a gift on Christmas, but not knowing the full extent of its capabilities. It’s great to have the music and use it for what we think it’s meant for, but if we knew of its power, we’d appreciate and use it a whole lot more. The famous musician Alfred Zotti has written Music Therapy: An Introduction with Case Studies for Mental Illness Recovery to diminish our ignorance in this area and start using music in a positive, life-changing way. Zotti discusses the real-life benefits of music with Alzheimer’s, bipolar disorder, autism, schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression.

Zotti writes about mental illness from personal experience; this is helpful to know when the reader wants to learn information that is tried and true. I appreciate the case studies that are included; they drive home the points that he makes in each short chapter and shows it applied to a person. The way he writes is simple to understand, and the information and facts that he presents are eye-opening. Any reader can benefit from this book!

    What Others Say About Got An Angry Kid? and The P.A.C.T. Training Program


    "The family is much calmer. Taking P.A.C.T. Training was the best decision I ever made. It's the best
    hard work I've ever done. P.A.C.T. was the light at the end of the tunnel for us."

    --Ms. K. D., Willimantic, CT, Mom and Dad of an adolescent girl placed in foster care


    "From my professional experience as a manager in the field, P.A.C.T. is one of the very few services
    which has been held in high regard by our professional staff as well as the families which benefitted
    from Dr. Gibson's excellent program."

    --Ms. Helen Lawrence (retired) Connecticut State Department of Children and Families (CTSDCF)


    "I have had to fight for every service for my family. P.A.C.T. is my best chance to [create] change.
    Thanks for everything."

    --Ms. K.M., Vernon, CT, single Mom of an out-of-control son


    "Although I was only a few weeks into P.A.C.T., I felt myself becoming calmer, more hopeful, and
    more in control. P.A.C.T. is putting life into my parenting and does what three years of residential
    placement didn't."

    --Mrs D.W., Hamden, CT, single Mom of a seriously emotionally disturbed boy


    "Again, I can't say enough about how this program has changed my life."

    --Mr. L.C., New Milford, CT, single parent of a foster child


    "P.A.C.T. and Got An Angry Kid? is brilliant."

    --Parenting consultant
