Dear Anna,
I don't. But my experience (I am currently doing PhD research in music
therapy with mentally ill children/adolescents) is that the whole body
of evidence from music therapy outcome studies is so small that you
probably will have to take a much broader focus - look for studies
investigating the use of music therapy with *any* kind of mentally ill
patients! And/or look for psychotherapy studies focusing on your
population.
Are you going to use readmission rates as an outcome variable?
Good luck!
Christian.
