In: Music [Edit categories]

Answer:

Music therapy is an interpersonal process in which the 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 relationship that develops 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 disabilities, sensory challenges, developmental disabilities, substance abuse, communication disorders, interpersonal problems, and aging.
