Music Therapy in Palliative Care, Music Therapy Association of British Columbia:"When we are working with persons for whom a medical cure is no longer possible, music therapy can improve the quality of life by addressing the emotional, spiritual and physical needs that may arise during this time.
Music experiences utilized in palliative care may include music listening, discussion of specially chosen lyrics, songwriting, improvisation, singing and playing instruments. A person's musical, cultural and religious background may be incorporated into the session, providing a personalized approach. In all instances, respect for the patient’s needs and preferences is of primary importance.
For terminally ill persons, music therapy can serve as a catalyst to establish both verbal and non-verbal communication. The skilled use of music can facilitate emotional self-expression and provide a supportive and non-threatening environment with opportunities to confront fears and discuss present concerns. Musical associations can facilitate life review and assist in resolving significant personal issues." ******************************************************
Music Therapy Research Center, Editorial:"No innovation has gained such a fast foothold and recognition among medical experts as the utilisation of the natural laws of harmony.
