For the latest segment in his Patient Listening series, our friend Rich Frankel, PhD, explores people's emotional reaction to music and how music might create healing effects.

Dr. Frankel speaks with two individuals for whom music is central to their lives. He chats with music therapist Eva Rudisile, who works at an Indianapolis hospital. She is passionate about helping patients cope with disease through music.

And Frankel meets dulcimer player Tull Glazener, for whom music has been a constant and enhancing force.
