This thorough and balanced investigation of MPA makes this book a significant resource. The use of musicians' experiences to drive the understanding of performance anxiety coupled with the depth of academic study means that this book will be of immense value both to musicians and teachers in understanding and overcoming performance anxiety and to students and researchers with an interest in developing their understanding of this field.

Noola Griffiths, British Journal of Music Ed

Kenny's book offers both theoretical and practical information and insights and will appeal not only to musicians but also to clinical psychologists, music educators, and others who work in the field... ...I cannot recomment strongly enough this extremely important volume of latest research and recommendations from the world's leading expert on MPA, surely as important to musicians and psychologists as any of Freud or Jung's work. Kenny will doubtlessly go on to offer MPA sufferers hope and solutions to the complex issue of music performance anxiety.

The Psychology of Music Performance Anxiety is without question the most comprehensive scholarly resource on the subject of music performance anxiety (MPA) I have ever read. It is a welcome addition to my bookshelf, and one that will likely not have the chance to gather any dust. Dr. Kenny is a world-renowned expert in MPA, and in this text she provides a thoughtful, well-researched analysis of the science and practice of MPA.

Medical Problems of Performing Arts

Why are some performers exhilarated and energized about performing in public, while others feel a crushing sense of fear and dread, and experience public performance as an overwhelming challenge that must be endured? What are the factors that produce such vastly different performance experiences? Why have consummate artists like Frederic Chopin, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Pablo Cassals, Tatiana Troyanos, and Barbra Streisand experienced such intense music performance anxiety? This is a disorder that can affect musicians across a range of genres and of all standards. Some of the 'cures' musicians resort to can be harmful to their health and detrimental to their playing. This is the first rigorous exposition of music performance anxiety. In this groundbreaking work, Dianna Kenny draws on a range of disciplines including psychology, philosophy, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and performance theory in order to explain the many facets of music performance anxiety that have emerged in the empirical and clinical literature. She identifies some unifying guiding principles that will enhance our understanding of the condition and guide researchers and clinicians in the development of effective treatments. The book provides a detailed conceptual framework for the study of music performance anxiety and a review of the empirical and clinical research on the anxiety disorders. In addition it presents a thorough analysis of the concepts related to music performance anxiety, its epidemiology, and theories and therapies that may be useful in understanding and treating the condition. The voices of musicians are clearly heard throughout the book and in the final two chapters, we hear directly from musicians about how they experience it and what they do to manage it. This book will lay a firm foundation for theorizing music performance anxiety and be of enormous value interest to those in the fields of music and music education, clinical psychology, and performance studies.
