Sažetak
The research, which has been carried out by art-therapists, clinical psychologists, neurologists and others, has helped to provide measurable data that support the values of music in healing that have long been empirically understood by traditional healers in the east and west cultures.
The growing holistic consciousness within the health care professions has led to a renewed interest in the integration of music and the other creative arts into forward-looking approaches to psychotherapy and medical interventions.
Trance induction is only one aspect of traditional music and healing practices and, in any case, the induction of similar altered states of consciousness through techniques like music and imagery are common place in clinical music therapy practice and this without a sacrilized ritual context. Music in therapy is also applied in medical settings to achieve such physiological goals as pain reduction, control of stress hormone levels and muscle tension and in enhancing the immune system in cancer patients.
