Please see below for comments by Dr Clive Robbins, Zerka Moreno, and Eric Booth.

Do My Story, Sing My Song tells the stories of children in residential treatment, diagnosed as severely emotionally disturbed, who took part in music and drama therapy with the author. Engaging, informative, and moving, this book is for general readers, teachers, parents, artists, therapists, policy makers, and anyone interested in children and the
arts within or beyond therapeutic contexts.

Advance praise for Do My Story, Sing My Song:

³I was deeply moved by this natural, human and heart-touching book. The style is so unassuming and clear. How well the author serves these embattled children!" --Dr Clive Robbins, Director of the Nordoff Robbins Center, New York University, co-founder of the Nordoff Robbins Clinics, London and New York, and co-author of Creative Music Therapy.

³The children whom Jo Salas writes about were all, in one form or another, profoundly disturbed. And yet she managed to contact them with a model composed of music, art, storytelling, role playing and various forms of drama. With delicate insight, deep tenderness and above all, with creativity, she deals with the magic, too often buried and untouched, that is to be found in dren.² --Zerka Moreno, psychodramatist and co-author (with J.L. Moreno) of Who Shall
Survive? (Vol. 2.) and co-author of Psychodrama, Surplus Reality and the Art of Healing.
