Music therapy is an interpersonal process in which a trained music therapist uses music and all of its facets—physical,
emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual—to help clients
to improve or maintain their health. In some instances, the client's
needs are addressed directly through music; in others they are
addressed through the relationships that develop between the client and
therapist. Music therapy is used with individuals of all ages and with
a variety of conditions, including: psychiatric disorders, medical
problems, physical handicaps, sensory impairments, developmental
disabilities, substance abuse, communication disorders, interpersonal
problems, and aging. It is also used to: improve learning, build self-esteem,
reduce stress, support physical exercise, and facilitate a host
of other health-related activities. Music therapists are found in nearly every area of the
helping professions. Some commonly found practices include developmental
work (communication, motor skills, etc.) with individuals with special needs,
songwriting and listening in reminiscence/orientation work with the elderly, processing and relaxation work, and
rhythmic entrainment for physical
rehabilitation in stroke victims. The Turco-Persian psychologist and music theorist al-Farabi (872–950), known as "Alpharabius"
in Europe, dealt with music therapy in his treatise Meanings of the Intellect, where he discussed the therapeutic effects of music on the soul.[1] Robert Burton wrote in the
17th century in his classic work, The Anatomy of Melancholy,
that music and dance were critical in treating mental illness, especially melancholia.[2][3][4] It is considered one of the expressive therapies.
