Abstract

Music is increasingly seen to have an essential non-pharmacological therapeutic role within healthcare and in particular for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. As Thaut (2005: 115) has argued, ‘brain research involving music has shown that music has a distinct influence on the brain by stimulating physiologically complex cognitive, affective, and sensorimotor processes. [...] This is a very critical step in the historical understanding of music in therapy and medicine’. In this keynote lecture, Emilie Capulet will present and discuss a wide array of musical activities, including Guided Imagery and Music (Dukic, H., Parncutt, R., & Bunt, L. (2019)) and the neurochemistry of music (Chanda ML, Levitin DJ. ‘The Neurochemistry of Music’. Trends Cogn Sci. 2013. Apr. 17(4):179-93), as well as music therapy activities (Landis-Shack, Nora et al. “Music Therapy for Posttraumatic Stress in Adults: A Theoretical Review.” Psychomusicology vol. 27,4 (2017): 334-342) which have a positive impact on cognitive, emotional, behavioral and physiological levels.
