of Certified Group Psychotherapists (CGP), located on the
Association's website, www., A groundbreaking study due to be
published in the February 2005 issue of the international research journal
Medical Science Monitor shows for the first time that playing a musical
instrument can reverse multiple components of the human stress response on the
genomic level.
Yet beyond stress-induction, the research shows that the stress-reduction
impact was far greater for individuals participating in their first group

between stress and disease remain elusive, it isn't surprising that under the
