Delivering Effective Adventure Therapy: A Therapist’s Guide to Producing Transformative Change for Clients provides effective interventions for enriching therapeutic techniques using experiential methodology infused with metaphor. Therapists continuously search for effective therapeutic interventions to engage clients in treatment and promote positive change. Adventure therapy overcomes the barriers of traditional therapeutic interventions such as, passivity, lack of input, and increased levels of resistance from clients. Rather than just “talking the talk” of therapy, this book provides examples and case studies that utilize experiences to enrich the therapeutic process and assist clients in reaching their therapeutic objectives faster with longer-lasting results. In addition to the practical therapeutic interventions detailed in the text, the theoretical background, rationale, models, case studies, and contraindications for these interventions are also explored. This toolkit is a practical and immersive guide which details adventure therapy practices in the field of mental health. This text is essential for mental health clinicians, including psychologists, social workers, and family/marriage therapists. As well as, therapists working in adventure, wilderness, outdoor, and alternative treatment settings.
