Apr 24, 2024 · As only two of the studies included in our analysis were psychotherapy-controlled, the suggested benefit of a lower attrition rate in music therapy needs further validation from future research. Perhaps patients who meet both DSM and ICD criteria for PTSD have more complex clinical symptomatology and longer disease duration, making them more difficult to treat.
Although music can support well-being, some research also suggests that music can be associated with negative outcomes if used in unhealthy or risky ways (Saarikallio et al., 2015; Travis, 2013). For example, unhealthy uses of music can intensify or increase the risk of depression, rumination, social isolation, and affect dysregulation (Garrido et al., 2017 ; Silverman, 2020 ; Thomson et al ...

Above all, music-making is social (and hence interpersonal), pleasurable and meaningful: this may also be why randomised trials of music therapy have shown high levels of engagement with patient groups who are traditionally difficult to engage (e.g. Talwar et al Reference Talwar, Crawford, Maratos, Nur, McDermott and Procter 14).

Jun 1, 2024 · The majority of studies in this review employed the traditional music therapy format of therapist-led interventions (n = 11) employing some form of active music making (n = 10) which, while effective, are a resource- and time-intensive means of accessing the benefits of music. On the other hand, two out of three studies that employed self-directed interventions led to significant improvements ...
