The fifth edition of Psychological Foundations of Musical Behavior appears at a time of continuing worldwide anxiety and turmoil. We have learned a lot about human musical behavior, and we have some understanding of how music can meet diverse human needs. In this exceptional new edition, the authors have elected to continue a 'one volume' coverage of a broad array of topics, guided by three criteria: The text is comprehensive in its coverage of diverse areas comprising music psychology; it is comprehensible to the reader; and it is contemporary in its inclusion of information gathered in recent years. Chapter organization recognizes the traditional and more contemporary domains, with special emphases on psychoacoustics, musical preference, learning, and the psychological foundations of rhythm, melody, and harmony. Following the introductory preview chapter, the text examines diverse views of why people have music and considers music's functions for individuals, its social values, and its importance as a cultural phenomenon. 'Functional music' and music as a therapeutic tool is discussed, including descriptions and relationships involving psychoacoustical phenomena, giving considerable attention to perception, judgment, measurement, and physical and psychophysical events. Rhythmic behaviors and what is involved in producing and responding to rhythms are explored. The organization of horizontal and vertical pitch, tonality, scales, and value judgments, as well as related pedagogical issues are also considered. The basic aspects of musical performance, improvisation, composition, existing musical preferences and tastes, approaches to studying the affective response to music with particular emphasis on developments in psychological aesthetics are examined. The text closely relates the development and prediction of musical ability, music learning as a form of human learning, and music abnormalities, concluding with speculation regarding future research directions. The authors offer their latest review of aspects of human musical behavior with profound recognition of music's enduring values. Read more

Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness, or “PPPD”, is one of the newest vestibular conditions to receive its official diagnostic criteria. Thought to originate from within the vestibular system and brain, PPPD typically generates chronic dizziness, vertigo, and/or unsteadiness that is worsened when patients are in an upright position. Despite these symptoms, vestibular tests are often found to be normal which ends up leaving patients with no real answers as to the cause of their ongoing dizziness.PPPD – A Patient’s Guide to Understanding Persistent Perceptual-Postural Dizziness was written for the PPPD patient in order to summarize the available research specific to what PPPD is, who it affects, and how it can be treated. In addition, chapters are included that describe the structure and function of the vestibular system along with summarizing several other related vestibular conditions that are capable of producing symptoms similar to what is experienced with PPPD. This book is designed to be a comprehensive source of information for PPPD patients that can educate and empower them in their battle against PPPD. Over 110 research papers are cited throughout the book, helping patients to be armed with the latest and most relevant information that will allow them to have informed and productive discussions with their medical provider.

An accidental bump to the side of his head was all it took for Mark Knoblauch’s world to start spinning . . . literally. What followed were months of confusion, frustration, and a bit of annoyance as to why a rapid onset of vertigo would set in anytime he looked upward. Eventually, he found his answer. It turns out he was feeling the effects of the most common vestibular disorder out there – BPPV. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a condition that triggers vertigo when the head is placed in a particular position. With BPPV, however, the vertigo ceases once the head is repositioned. Despite its sometimes forceful symptoms, the underlying cause of BPPV is relatively minor and can typically be fixed with a quick visit to a medical professional’s office. Because of his own experience with BPPV, Mark wrote Understanding BPPV so that everyone affected by this condition can have a quality resource guide detailing just what BPPV is, how it occurs, and how it is treated. Particular attention is focused on the intricate anatomy of the ear, as well as how this anatomy is involved in generating the symptoms associated with BPPV. Mark also outlnes the latest research into BPPV and provides an overview of the various diagnostic tests and treatments used to help BPPV patients in many cases get back to a vertigo-free life.
