Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to illustrate individualized clinical practice in music therapy as part of treatment programming for veterans with PTSD. Multidimensional aspects of treatment are referenced through an integrative and multi-modal approach to highlight the coordination of processes in meeting veteran needs and goals. The incorporation of Somatic Experiencing® techniques will also be highlighted as a means of promoting stabilization and developing resiliency by increasing awareness of sensate experience to help resolve fixated physiologic states due to traumatic stress. Current trauma models will be reviewed to help explore additional needs for growth in music therapy practice in the treatment of veterans coping with trauma.
