Ecotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice

This collection of writings by clinicians in the US and around the world is a wonderful survey of current thought and practice in Ecotherapy. It outlines the history of ecotherapy, theories and perspectives, current research and practice. Highly recommended foundation reading for anyone interested in the subject. --D. Hennington, MSW

Really up to date and comprehensive information. Has information on a wide variety of topics. Super helpful resource.

I am currently conducting a literature review for my dissertation focused on outdoor occupational therapy services for children, and after reading this book from the library, I am going to buy it to keep as a reference. It is an excellent review of the history of the development of ecopsychology and ecotherapy, including theoretical foundations of ecotherapy practice. I was pleased to find that occupational therapists are mentioned in the book more than once (always in context of work with adults) and found that much of the content was directly applicable to any health professional's practice in the outdoors with clients. It is well-written, very theoretical for the most part rather than giving practical suggestions to implement in therapy sessions, but this is what I expected. Health professionals need to understand the theory behind WHY we do what we do, and this book does that for any eco therapist.
