The positive effects of experiencing nature can be a valuable support for psychotherapy and counselling. With her mindfulness-based nature therapy, the author provides us with a suitable psychotherapeutic frame of reference. Her approach combines the therapeutic value of experiencing nature with the practice of mindfulness, supported by a humanistic person-centred attitude. In addition, the book traces the genesis and diversity of natural therapeutic concepts, provides an overview of the state of empirical research and clarifies fundamental questions about the relationship between humans and nature.

The practical section focuses on nature therapy interventions and how they can be applied in treating the most common disorders (anxiety disorders, depression, somatoform disorders, trauma disorders, etc). Vivid case histories, insider tips for practical implementation and further information complete the book.
