Noah Kass, DSW, LCSW, psychotherapist, who was not involved in the study, commented on the study’s findings to Medical News Today: “The findings underscore the need to tailor music selections to the individual preferences of patients if we want to see the greatest reduction in depressive symptoms. Music therapy, like many other forms of therapy, is most effective when based on a thorough assessment of what motivates the patient to achieve relief and ongoing change.
The study makes clear the importance of the patient having a strong, emotional connection with the music used in therapy. It suggests that the enjoyment of the music is the key factor in the effectiveness of music therapies for treating depressive symptoms.”
