About MusicMedicine...
"MusicMedicine is a multidisciplinary field that includes, but is not limited to, scientific findings derived from the disciplines of biology, ethnology, mathematics, medicine, music education,music theory, music therapy, musicology, music psychology, physics, physiology, psychology, and socioantropology, all of which contribute to the growing body of knowledge about how and why music affects humans.
"MusicMedicine is gaining increasing interest from the scientific and medical communities. It should be noted, however, that it is still a relatively “young” field. Accordingly, central concepts, as well as advanced standards for research, education, and therapy, are still in the process of being refined. Also, there is a continuing search for a central theory to bring to bring together the parts gleaned from research and practice, and from the disciplines involved. Finally, terminology (e.g., MusicMedicine, music in medicine, music and medicine, etc.) has yet to be standardized.
"Music has played an important role in human healing for thousands of years, and these volumes are another step forward in unraveling the mysteries of the power of music. In spite of differences in professional and cultural backgrounds, all authors included in these books are united by their interest in understanding the profound effects of music upon humans and in having music play a more integrated role in health care."
