Music therapy is innovating every day. Yet much of the practice is
misunderstood. Clare Takash joins Lissa & Thom during this episode to
explain her journey to becoming a music therapist at Rush
University Medical Center in Chicago.
Music therapy provides the clinical
and evidence-based use of music interventions for patients with
autism, trauma survivors, Parkinson's disease, and more. Clare can
even be seen soothing families in Rush Hospital's neo-natal unit.
Patients may need a rhythmic "prescription" or a melody — the
methods are never as simple as they seem. Listen as Clare shares
her strategies, and some soul-stirring survival stories.
