Recommended to all

To provide a context for clinicians to consider the extent to which music could be integrated into the practice.

This presentation sets out the context for using music to improve or worsen health and wellbeing outcomes, from a psychological perspective. It draws examples from research and practice across a range of settings, and contrasts the negative impacts of forced listening and the extremes of 'serious' leisure music-making with the positive psycho-biological impacts of passive or active music engagement in a range of settings, both clinical and everyday.

Participants will gain:

• a basic understanding of the psycho-biology of musical affect
• a stimulus to reflect on the ethics of using music in a clinical context
• resources to further explore music in health
• a better understanding of the positive and negative impacts of music
• a basic grasp of the differences between active and passive music engagement and health
• some pointers towards the reasons music can damage health and wellbeing
