Abstract

Anxiety and the feeling of loneliness are emotional states that individuals may experience with greater or lesser intensity. Besides non-curative pharmacological therapies, music therapy has been settling in recent years as an effective therapy to ease these disorders preventing them from becoming chronic and lead to various pathologies. This quasi-experimental research study assesses 31 individuals (28 women and 3 men, with an average age of 45,6) that receive weekly one-hour music therapy sessions during 10 weeks. In the first and the last session of each period they self-administer the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) and UCLA Loneliness Scale which allows to know their evolution during the treatment. The results show that a 74% and a 77% of the participants experienced a significant reduction of the initial disorders, obtaining on average, a reduction of 27% and 16% of the scores initially assigned.
