ABSTRACT
The ideas presented in this chapter are a reflection of the author’s experience over a five-year period working with people living with Huntington’s disease (HD). During this period, different approaches were explored to find those which offered maximum support to clients in their differing stages of the condition. Approaches employed needed constant re-evaluation, as HD is typified by a gradual change in abilities over an extended period of deterioration. A definition and description of the symptoms of HD are given, followed by behaviours and responses observed in music therapy sessions presented in case study format.
