Pseudoscience.

On the other hand, I'd love to do a clinical trial with all these Slayer mp3s.

When I was in a treatment center (not one that is listed on this forum BTW) they had a music therapist and also a recreational therapist.I think both of these people did a great job. I never got to participate in the music therapy but talked to the person doing it and they explained a lot of it to me. Its pretty amazing. There have been people who completely recover and become "normal" when they are doing music therapy, it effects the brains in ways we don't know about yet and its very promising. They believe that music actually might help the brain repair itself, and make new connections therefore actually solving some problems rather than say covering them up with strong medications and the like. I have a lot of respect for these people.

Music therapy can be awesome.  My friend is a dance movement therapist, and another is an art therapist. Many people respond cathartically to this. But key is that you direct the movement - its not coercive or punitive. Hell, you can do it at home.  My kids and I dance like maniacs when needing an unlift or we're feeling aggressive after a bad day and it works.  I punish my kids by singing. That works, too.

We all meditate to music, just by listening, then some need to move.
 

Thanks Samara...

None ya! Music therapy? talk to some O.T.R truckers, see real therapy in action. After all they didn't kill you or me did they? Didn't squash  us like the bugs they see us as, did they?
HOWEVER(wow! that's a big however) I often think that once you grant a degree in something, a lot of the sense goes out of it.  I can tell you about entrainment, about hemispheric quadrantrantizing, etc., but i don't know no music theory, and cain't play no instrument.I jes' knows There's tunes I like, and sounds I don't, and I'll get sick or violent if you try to take me to a Barry Manilow concert.
The hell of it is, It's always been a mystery, and it it ever ain't, well we've really lost something. J.O.M.

Music "therapy"  - No degrees necessary. No experts or intermediaries necessary.  Change your music, change your mood, change your mind.

It's not so hard to understand why behavioral programs forbid listening to music at all. Music can help heal the effects of the program itself.
