When the first edition of The Psychology of Music was published in 1982, this interdisciplinary field was in its infancy. The book, which drew together the diverse and scattered literature that had accumulated over the previous decade, was written by a group of visionaries from different areas of scholarship – psychologists, neuroscientists, engineers, music theorists and composers – who were committed to establishing this new discipline. During the years since the first edition was published, the field has expanded rapidly, particularly during the last decade, and these advances are reflected in the present (3rd) edition, which was published in 2013. This edition, which was written by internationally renowned experts in their subfields, presents the most recent and the best findings and theory to date.
