Abstract	This paper summarizes research on clinical applications of music therapy with closed head injury clients. It offers a rationale for including music therapy in interdisciplinary rehabilitation. The Rancho Los Amigos Levels of Cognitive Functioning are outlined, and therapeutic assessment and treatment procedures are discussed. Rehabilitation information and procedures are provided in the following areas: awareness and orientation; motor, sensory, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social rehabilitation; communication; and family considerations. The implications of substance abuse and post-traumatic epilepsy with the head-injured individual are also reviewed. The paper finds that music therapy has been shown to have a viable role in neuropsychological rehabilitation. The paper concludes with the hope that interdisciplinary teams will become more aggressive in including music therapists as part of the team, and the team as a whole will work to provide the best possible rehabilitation approach. An appendix summarizes the eight levels of the Rancho Los Amigos Scale of Cognitive Functioning. (Contains 22 references.) (JDD)
