"Does Music Therapy Work?" - Introduction - 0 views

  • Music has existed in some form since the Prehistoric times, and the first likely use of music was a call used to communicate to other members of a family unit or group either for entertainment, spiritual purposes (for example, rain dance chants) or for survival in hunting or gathering situations.(6) Notably, the role of the shaman or healer has been well documented(7) and can be considered analogous to the role of the music therapist today.
  • Whilst bias and exaggeration is possible in music therapy trials (as with all research), overall music therapy costs less than a drug trial - which often need millions of pounds in support.(32) In addition, drug trials are more likely to be implicated in pharmacological corruption(33), with consequences for patients by virtue of skewing or altering results - as seen with the understatement of the negative effects of Agent Orange, a carcinogenic (cancer-causing) herbicide used in the Vietnam war, by Monsanto.(34)

    This is an interesting article on the effectiveness of music therapy. It points also points out how cost effective music therapy is compared to drug trials.
