Abstrak: Hospital (darüşşifa) merupakan antara institusi sosial terawal yang dibangunkan oleh kerajaan Seljuk bagi menyediakan khidmat perubatan kepada masyarakat awam di Anatolia. Menariknya, darüşşifa dalam kerajaan Seljuk turut menggunakan terapi muzik sebagai salah satu kaedah bagi rawatan penyakit mental. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti institusi darüşşifa dalam kerajaan Seljuk di Anatolia yang menawarkan rawatan terapi muzik sekaligus mengkaji kaedah pelaksanaan rawatan tersebut. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dengan pendekatan reka bentuk kajian sejarah dan analisis kandungan berpandukan pelbagai sumber berautoriti dan seterusnya dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis teks serta deduktif. Dapatan kajian ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa terdapat sekurang-kurangnya 25 buah institusi darüşşifa yang dibina di Anatolia. Daripada jumlah tersebut, hanya tiga darüşşifa sahaja yang menawarkan rawatan menggunakan terapi muzik iaitu Gevher Nesibe Darüşşifa (1205-1206M) di Kayseri, Divriği Ulu Mosque and Darüşşifa di Sivas (1228-1229M) dan Amber ibn Abdullah Darüşşifa di Amasya (1308-1309M). Manakala kaedah terapi muzik yang dikenal pasti digunakan adalah melalui persembahan oleh sekumpulan pemuzik, bunyi air dari kolam air pancut serta inovasi sistem akustik yang dibina pada struktur bangunan hospital. Kaedah rawatan penyakit mental melalui terapi muzik yang dibangunkan oleh kerajaan Seljuk tidak hanya berakhir pada awal abad-14M malahan kesinambungan kaedah tersebut turut dapat dilihat pada era seterusnya iaitu dalam kerajaan Uthmaniyyah.
