Abstract
A holistic perspective on human beings allows health carers to achieve an understanding of all the physiological, psychological
and social disturbances of the patient as a whole. Through this article we wish to focus on how music has holistic neurological
benefits.
Music-therapy interventions can be more accessible and even “self-managed” by the patient’s relatives. They can reinforce
social cohesion, family ties and patients’ self-esteem and thus produce a better quality of life. Overall, it is important to consider the
benefits that an evolutionary understanding of musical behaviour and a holistic clinical perspective of the role of music may bring
for rehabilitation of a wide range of symptoms and conditions.
