Abstract
The author describes a medical music therapy clinical project that offered clients individual music therapy sessions while undergoing hemodialysis treatment in a hospital. Such patients are susceptible to psychosocial problems, particularly depression. Three case studies illustrate possible outcomes of music therapy, which was found to be helpful in relieving anxiety, altering mood, and relieving pain.
