About music and coping mechanisms, I believe music is a coping mechanism in those who love music passionately. I can be of course wrong. I mean there are persons to whom this world is too much, kind of sensitive guys, who needs some art to survive. I spent some times alone when I was quite small and I think music become to me replacement of human relations in those situations. No-one of course did put me into room with a music, I think i just was interested about music myself. And because my parents had to be in the work (my mother was only few hours a day) and I enjoyed to be myself with the music, there were those moments. One of my longest friend from childhood has told me, that she asked me to go out but I had said "No, I just want to listen rock". I donīt remember it myself.
Anyway as music therapy view of this, I believe music can also prevent some people to face his problems. I mean music can be so big defense to person who has been in it most of his life.
But also, I think my life would have been really much worse without music! I think I have coped with really hard times with the help of great people & music.
