音樂治療在醫療領域是相當有意義的新興療法，近年來廣泛應用於各健康照護領域中，國內外相關學者對其療效也抱持正向肯定的態度。現階段台灣音樂治療，多以聆聽音樂之模式進行，而歐美地區音樂治療的主流則強調能讓個案積極參與動態的音樂治療。對個案而言，動態的音樂參與是一種積極有效的治療方法，更具音樂治療的價值。台北榮總復健病房於2010年3月始邀請專業音樂治療師共同參與照護過程，依個案年齡、性別、文化、音樂喜好及其相關經驗等背景資料進行評估後，挑選合適的歌曲進行歌唱活動及歌詞改編等活動，透過互動式音樂治療的介入，不僅增進病人認知程度，更提升其自我表達能力與自信，故期望作為臨床實務之參考，且能持續應用並推廣到類似的病房。

Music therapy (MT) is a newly developing mode of therapy in medical practice and has been widely used in a variety of populations. Most professionals hold a positive attitude toward its effect. Nowadays, MT in Taiwan is mostly performed by nursing staff with music listening. However, in Western countries, the mainstream of MT actually addresses the importance of active participation of subjects and interactive mode of MT. Since March 2010, an interactive MT was conducted by a professional music therapist in a rehabilitation ward at Taipei VGH. Based on age, gender, preferred songs and related previous experiences of each subject, appropriate songs were chosen for activities. Through the interactive MT, not only cognitive recovery, but also the self-confidence and expression of patients were enhanced. In this clinical practice, a good example was provided for the use of MT and this pointed to other application in similar wards in the future.
