The power of music to heal people has been suggested for centuries. But what is going on in the brain that helps with the healing process and how could this be applied to eating disorder treatment? In this post I explore why music therapy could improve eating disorder treatment.

Despite the potential of music therapy for eating disorders treatment, it isn't widely used.
Explorations of music's neurobiological effects on eating disorder symptoms are needed to develop effective music therapies for them.
