The Promise of Wilderness Therapy
By Jennifer Davis-Berman & Dene Berman
In the Promise of Wilderness Therapy, Jennifer Davis-Berman and Dene Berman draw on their combined 30-plus years of working with struggling adolescents to clearly outline how and why wilderness therapy works. As therapists who practice both in traditional and wilderness settings, they have written this book because they have seen the power that wilderness can have on the therapeutic process. In its pages youll find a well thought-out mix of practical advice, historical and theoretical foundations, frank discussions, and personal opinion that opens the door to a new way of treating longstanding adolescent challenges in new and inspired ways.
In nine easy-to-access chapters, the authors provide information youll need to assess whether wilderness therapy is right for the adolescent in your life. Youll learn about the unique challenges faced by todays youth and how those challenges impact adolescent behavior. Youll understand the origins of the field, as well as the theories on which it is based. Youll be able to distinguish hard facts from marketing hyperbole. Youll understand the difference between licensing, credentialing, and accreditation, enabling you to determine a programs legitimacy. Youll have access to the most recent research on the effectiveness of wilderness therapy. Youll learn about the different types of programs that use wilderness therapy and who they serve. And finally, as you work your way through the series of guiding questions in Chapter 8, youll not only be able to determine whether wilderness therapy holds promise for the adolescent in your life, but feel more confident as you embark on the program research and selection process.
