<![CDATA[Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among first responders is an understudied issue in Indonesia. Until the point that this study was written, there has not been any literature regarding this issue that is available in Indonesia. In the American continent, music therapy is used as one of the non-pharmaceutical interventions for first responders and veterans with PTSD. Despite of the many literatures that were written on music therapy and PTSD, there is a lack of information on approaches and considerations when working with first responders with PTSD in a music therapy session. This study aims to offer the clinical idea and considerations; mainly the adaptation of Iso principle concept; to base music therapy session planning for first responders with PTSD. The Iso-principle is the idea of matching the chosen music to the client’s mood, and gradually changing the music to the desired mood. In this case-study, the flow of music therapy sessions with an adult male first responder will be reviewed and analyzed. ]]>
