His work Musicoterapia y educatión , which was published in Spanish , was also published in German in 1983, with a foreword by Gertrud Orff . He coined the concept of the ISO principle in music therapy:

"In order to be able to establish a communication channel between the therapist and the patient, the mental tempo of the patient must match the sounds or the music emanating from the therapist."

He differentiated between gestalt, complementary, group and universal ISO. In the sense of the opinion that in music therapy with children, the music must come from the child, the term was adopted in music therapy by Gertrud Orff and Karin Schumacher , among others .
