The purpose of this study was to investigate the process and characteristics of music psychotherapy experience of female victims of domestic violence living in a shelter. For the study the researcher had purposefully sampled 10 women living in the shelter and conducted 14 group music psychotherapy sessions, Each session lasts 60 minutes at a time and from January to April 2014. After ending music psychotherapy the researcher collected the data about how they had experienced music psychotherapy through in-depth individual interview. Grounded theory by Strauss & Corbin was utilized for the collected data analysis. Data were categorized into 79 concepts, 18 sub-categories and 12 upper-categories. According to the paradigm model casual conditions were ‘distraction of negative emotion’, ‘eager to get emotional sense of stability’, ‘desire to change’, contextual conditions were ‘accepting the opportunity of self-introspection’, ‘self-caring through music absorption’, ‘identifying my life and music’, central phenomena was ‘discovering and accepting true self through music therapy’, intervening condition was ‘empathy’, action/interaction strategies were ‘understanding and communicating through music’, ‘accepting internal needs’, and consequences were ‘tool for communicating’, and ‘aquisition for self-caring resources’. The core category which explains the relationships between all identified concepts turned out to be “the experience of music psychotherapy helps them acquire the resources for self-care.” As a result, it was found that the participants acquire resources for self-care through discovery and acceptance of the true-self.
