E-Books →Horticultural Therapy Methods Connecting People and Plants in Health Care, Human Services, and Therapeutic Programs, 3rd Edi

Horticultural Therapy Methods: Connecting People and Plants in Health Care, Human Services, and Therapeutic Programs was the first text to describe the processes and techniques used to provide horticultural therapy interventions, and the rationale for their use. The first edition was written to positively impact the professional practice of horticultural therapy and provide an array of strategies for horticultural therapy treatment. Prior to its publication, the topics had only been addressed by other allied professions but had not been specifically tailored for horticultural therapy. The second edition updated the material, added essential information on planning treatment sessions, and provided techniques to address treatment issues for mental health, physical health, vocational skills, and wellness. This third edition revises all chapter content, improves and expands appendices, adds a chapter on building relationships, provides new photos, and includes additional case examples, in addition to providing discussion questions, references, further reading, and key concepts.
