This type of therapy may be beneficial for patients experiencing:
- Difficulty coping with anxiety, grief, or pain.
- Isolation, withdrawal from others, or depression.
- Minimal presence of a support system.
- An interest in life review or reflection.
- A family who is grieving or having difficulty through the grief process.
- An interest in expressing one’s self through music.
