Nature Is Nurture

Nature Is Nurture provides an overview of the theoretical concepts and empirical bases of ecotherapy-a construct of mental health that explores the reciprocal relationship humans have with nature and its capacity to build strength and provide healing. Chapters share practical ways to incorporate ecotherapy with children, adults, and veteran populations; within schools; and in group work. Descriptions of modalities such as animal-assisted, equine-assisted,
horticultural, forest-bathing, green-exercise, and adventure-based therapy are included alongside case examples, techniques, and practical and ethical considerations.
