ART THERAPY I.

INTRODUCTION At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the creative arts therapies are firmly established as an important part of complementary medicine for psychological and physiologic illnesses.

MUSIC THERAPY I. INTRODUCTION Music therapy for patients with mental disorders takes place in many forms. Because music elicits mood/emotional responses ranging from pleasure and excitement to sadness and fear depending on past experiences and symbolic significance, it is a unique mode of action as therapy. This mood/feeling response, thought to originate in the limbic system, is used in music therapy to engage the patient in new cognitive patterns and mood altering exercises. These changes in mood are accompanied by physiological changes which are observable and measurable. The central and autonomic nervous system are also affected by music on cortical and subcortical levels. Thus the conclusion by Michael Thaut and Roger A. Smeltekop, contributing authors of Music Therapy in the Treatment of Adults with Mental Disorders edited by Robert F. Unkefer, that "music therapy interventions can affect the entire human personality and the multifold psychophysical interactions within the nervous system" (p.85). In addition to eliciting mood/feeling response and altering feeling states, music has the function of organizing thinking that was otherwise disordered due to its mathematically logical nature of rhythm, interval relationships in melodies, and form. Other areas that music therapy has proven particularly useful as well as measurable are in aiding interpersonal interaction, improving self-concept, reducing anxiety, and stimulating perceptual and motor activity.

DANCE THERAPY I. INTRODUCTION Dance and movement are known to have physical and psychological benefits for those with mental illness. A recent study by academic Sarah Cook, who has personal experience of mental health problems, shows dance is a powerful therapeutic tool. As a student, she ended up in hospital for several months after becoming suicidally depressed. She discovered dance more than 10 years ago and has since used it as a way of dealing with grief, sorrow and other "stress-producing" emotions, quite literally dancing them out of her system. II.
