| Abstract | That current scientific medicine is recognizing the validity of music therapy to measure healing progress or regression is exciting. We have long heard that music has powers to sooth "the savage breast." Now we see that it also has power to affect the areas of chronic pain in the human body. And this is significant progress of the once "advanced" idea that psychological and mental conditions may affect physical states. Some even suggested that the spiritual field might have something to do with generla unwellness and be a curative factor in the healing process. |
