  • Use of the Iso Principle As a Central Method in Mood Management: a Music Psychotherapy Clinical Case Study
    Augsburg University Idun Faculty Authored Articles 2-10-2015 Use of the Iso Principle as a Central Method in Mood Management: A Music Psychotherapy Clinical Case Study Annie Heiderscheit Amy Madson Follow this and additional works at: https://idun.augsburg.edu/faculty_scholarship Part of the Music Therapy Commons Iso Principle Case Study 1 Running Head: ISO PRINCIPLE CASE STUDY Use of the Iso Principle as a Central Method in Mood Management: A Music Psychotherapy Clinical Case Study Keywords: iso principle, music listening, mood management, music psychotherapy ABSTRACT The iso principle originated in 1948, as a concept and method of intervention in the context of mood management (Altshulter, 1948). Since then, the use of the iso principle has expanded to a variety of areas within music therapy (Smeijesters, 1995; Crowe, 2004; Michel & Pinson, 2005; Wigram, Pedersen, Bonde, 2002). This article traces the use of the iso principle as a means for mood management from its origins through contemporary clinical uses. It then poses a method of mood management utilizing the iso principle as a central concept and reviews its implementation and efficacy through the presentation of a case study with a female client battling a compulsive overeating disorder, depression, and anxiety. Considerations and implications of the use of the iso principle are also identified and discussed. (129 words) Iso Principle Case Study 2 The iso principle was introduced in the late 1940’s as a method of mood management (Altshuler, 1948). Over time, music therapists have discovered a variety of ways to expand and utilize the iso principle in a variety of clinical settings (Smeijesters, 1995; Crowe, 2004; Michel & Pinson, 2005; Wigram, Pedersen, Bonde, 2002).
