Children with depression who received the Alvin model of free
improvisation music therapy had significantly better self-esteem and reduced
depression than those who received usual care, according to a study in The
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. The findings, based on 2011 to 2014
data involving youths ages 8 to 16 being treated for emotional or behavioral
problems, also showed improved interactive and communicative skills among those
ages 13 and older who received the music therapy and better social functioning
among all age groups who had the therapy.
