The efficacy of “rapid tele-psychotherapy” with single-session music therapy: A personal reflection as a founder

摘要

Nowadays, the COVID-19 pandemic still occurs in various locations. Variant after variant of the virus, currently increasingly mutating in various countries (Poudel et al., 2022). This indicates that the pandemic is not over, and we do not know when this outbreak will end (Situmorang, 2021a). The need for remote mental health assistance is increasingly needed to help many people because face-to-face processes cannot currently be carried out. In addition, many people in the current situation desperately need a quick counseling/psychotherapy process, even just one meeting. Based on this, I founded a new theory called “Rapid TelePsychotherapy,” which I combined with music therapy (Situmorang, 2021b). It is hoped that workers in the helping professions can use this new theory to help many people around the world.
