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.
Horticultural Therapy Methods is a clear instructive manual that explains:
The process of treatment planning in horticultural therapy
Session development, including activity or task selections to meet treatment objectives
Therapeutic use of self and relationship building
Motivation and behavior management techniques
Adaptations and modifications to enable and challenge program participants
How to maximize active engagement in horticulture and cultivation of plants
Treatment documentation guidelines
Practical approaches for mental health and other areas of practice
Horticultural Therapy Methods: Connecting People and Plants in Health Care, Human Services, and Therapeutic Programs, Third Edition, is a reference and guide for students, educators, and those using horticulture for therapeutic purposes to help construct effective treatment programs. Health care and human service professionals can use this reference in the therapy, treatment, and education of inmates, residents, patients, trainees, students and others. The aim of this book is to guide novice and experienced horticultural therapists to use accepted human service practices that are aligned with allied professions.
