Music therapy is an emerging professional discipline in modern times. Advanced countries have established music therapy departments with a history of 70 to 80 years to train professionals to meet the physical and mental health needs of modern people. The goal of this course is to help students understand the role of music from the perspective of a complete discipline (not a single advocate, not a single therapy) and the basic theoretical basis and implementation techniques of its application in treating various types of patients. Understand the role of music therapy through verbal and non-verbal methods. Through individual discussions and group discussions, students can also enhance their ability to observe and review relevant literature in Chinese and English through exercises, and gain clear knowledge about music therapy.
