Schizophrenia + Music

Hi Dr. Sacks!

First: you rock! I love your books!

As a person living with schizophrenia myself, I was wondering if you have any insights about how music might interact with a schizophrenic person's mind? Do you think music therapy would be beneficial to schizophrenic people (in addition to meds of course) and if so, how could it benefit us?
