“空心病”，是由于价值观缺陷导致部分大学生心理不良的一种疾病，表现为内心空虚、生活目标缺失以及自我价值感低下，对大学生学业、社交和整体生活质量产生了一定的负面影响，并且用传统治疗抑郁症的方法难以起效或效果不明显。音乐疗法具有特有的生理、心理效应，在改善大学生的身心健康方面具有一定的作用。故本文从多个角度探讨音乐疗法在缓解大学生空心病中的可行性，以期提出帮助大学生改善身心健康的对策。Hollow disease is a psychological condition affecting some college students, stemming from a deficiency in values. It manifests as inner emptiness, lack of life goals, and low self-worth, negatively impacting students’ academic performance, social interactions, and overall quality of life. Traditional treatments for depression often prove ineffective or yield limited results in addressing this condition. Music therapy, with its unique physiological and psychological effects, plays a beneficial role in improving the mental and physical well-being of college students. Therefore, this paper explores the feasibility of music therapy in alleviating hollow disease among university students from multiple perspectives, aiming to propose strategies to help enhance their mental and physical health.
