Abstract
The focus of this chapter is to analyze the characteristics of both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), discuss the current forms of treatment and therapy for PTSD, and suggest novel behavioral therapies for the treatment of PICS. Two novel therapies, musical therapy and collaborative songwriting, have had previous success in improving the mental and physical health of other vulnerable populations, such as prisoners. A critical aspect of these forms of therapy is understanding the creative processes and benefits of lyrical and non-lyrical composition. Finally, with any form of therapy, it is important to assess their effectiveness, as well as the recovery and functionality of those suffering from PTSD and PICS.
