Horticultural Therapy is ideally suited to engage veterans
alienated from traditional civilian healthcare routes who present
with a range of complex and challenging healthcare needs. It
presents, on the surface, as a deceptively simple and accessible
activity. Carried out by trained professionals, it is an
evidence-based, effective and cost-effective treatment. By
targeting specific client-centered goals, it is able to integrate
improved individual physical, emotional, cognitive and social
outcomes with broader opportunities to transition successfully into
civilian society through learning a valuable skill set and a
meaningful occupation.This book provides a comprehensive
introduction to the methods of Horticultural Therapy as applied to
this unique client group. It describes the type of combat training
and experiences veterans may have had, and sets out the common
issues and pitfalls civilian therapists often face when working
with the military. Looking to the future, it also identifies
promising avenues in terms of how we may improve the treatment we
offer to best serve the needs of these ex-service men and women who
fight on our behalf.
