For people who suffer from many different mental or social problems, there are treatments that range from direct medication to all kinds of therapies(治疗)aimed at improving their state of mind. Music therapy, helping people through their responses to music, is one of the most enduring and successful of these treatments.
Music therapy is mostly used to help people with psychological problems. I is used when patients suffer front depression. when patients have difficulties socializing properly, and for children with educational or behavioral problems. It is also used alongside conventional medicine to help motivate patients suffering from severe physical problems.
Essentially, music therapy can be divided into three different kinds. The simplest is where patients listen to a piece of music while they are performing another task that they would normally find difficult. Examples include children with learning disabilities or stroke victims performing painful exercises with music on in the background. Alternatively, discussions about music compositions are used to explore difficult personal topics by therapists that use their patients' responses to music.
The other two kinds of music therapy are more directly interactive. In the first, therapists use their musical skills to develop the musical ideas their patients come up with about particular themes. In the second, therapists are teachers while the patients experiment directly with music or some kind of sound making.
Remarkably. all three of these techniques are extremely effective. Many studies report significantly improved healing in sufferers of serious diseases when treatment is combined with music therapy. Although no one is sure why, it seems that music is a universal cure.
