Is Music Therapy the same as the Psychology of Music?

In: Music, Alternative Medicine [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. Music Therapy is the actual use of music with clients in the service of bringing about certain states of mind. If well practiced, it is not simply listening to music for relaxation but is a part of interventions designed to help a client deal with specific difficulties in productive ways. The Psychology of Music is really more the academic study of the elements of music as they are understood physically, how the brain recognizes and processes them, how the brain interprets and processes organized sounds in general along with its acoustic properties.
