MUSIC THERAPY

CASE STUDY ON MUSIC THERAPY

Ida Goldman (90 year-old testifying at senate hearings; August 1, 1991): "Before I had surgery they told me I could never walk again. But when I sat and listened to music, I forgot all about the pain," said Goldman, who walked with assistance during the hearing.

2: Dr. Oliver Sacks ("Awakenings," "The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat") reports that patients with neurological disorders who cannot talk or move are often able to sing, and sometimes even dance, to music. Its advocates say music therapy also can help ease the trauma of grieving, lessen depression and provide an outlet for people who are otherwise withdrawn.
