A Music Therapy Strategy for Depressed Older Adults in the Community

Suzanne B. Hanser

Stanford University School of Medicine

A music therapy strategy for depressed older adults involves eight music-listening programs facilitated by a music therapist for use in the home environment. Body relaxation, imagery, stimulation, and sleep enhancement are included in these programs that use music to cue relaxation and positive thinking. Four case studies describing successful application of this approach to older adults with depression and/or anxiety offer encouragement for this type of programming.
