Review

Leah Biebert’s review introduces Lisa Schön’s significant work, *Musikhören mit Demenz*, which explores the profound impact of individualized music interventions on the well-being of people living with dementia. As described, Schön's study effectively demonstrates the capacity of tailored musical engagement to enhance the quality of life for this vulnerable population. The research is presented as a comprehensive endeavor, expertly weaving together theoretical foundations, contemporary neurophysiological explanations, and practical, actionable recommendations, suggesting a multi-faceted approach to a complex subject. The methodology underlying Schön's work appears particularly robust, drawing on detailed case studies conducted within various care institutions. This empirical base provides a strong foundation for the book's conclusions and recommendations. Biebert specifically highlights the book's clear structure and thorough methodological reflection as key strengths, indicating a well-organized and critically sound piece of scholarship. The synthesis of scientific understanding with real-world application is a commendable feature, promising both intellectual rigor and practical utility. Ultimately, the reviewed study is positioned as exceptionally relevant across a broad spectrum of audiences. Its insights are deemed invaluable not only for academic and professional communities such as nursing, music therapy, and musicology, but also, crucially, for the relatives of individuals living with dementia. This wide-ranging applicability underscores the book's potential to significantly inform and improve care practices, offering meaningful guidance and hope to those directly impacted by dementia, thereby making it a highly impactful and timely contribution to the field.
