Allied Health Professions
Dale B. Taylor had his chapter titled "Biomedical Music Therapy" published in the 2004 textbook "Introduction to Approaches in Music Therapy," edited by A.A. Darrow and published by the American Music Therapy Association. In addition, Taylor's book "Biomedical Foundations of Music as Therapy" has been designated a "Classic" by MMB Music Inc. because it has gone into several printings and has reached a wider and more diverse public than originally planned.
