| [ Summary ] |
Music therapy has been widely introduced as an alternative therapy, but compared to the USA, Japan lags in the development of insurance practices that include coverage for treatment by music therapists. Although the effects of music therapy are diverse, statistical research is difficult to find and the empirical evidence level is not high. However, the effects actually seen are not fully expressed in the literature. I hope music therapy will be introduced to many medical areas in Japan in the future. |
