Proceedings of previous International Adventure Therapy Conferences
The proceedings from the past 4IATC's provide a comprehensive overview of approaches to adventure therapy and working theraputically outdoors.
Research on adventure therapy: where to find resources?
Given that a lot of adventure and outdoor therapy (adventure, wilderness, and nature therapy) practice has developed out of the Outdoor Education movement, outdoor therapy related research papers tend to be found amongst Outdoor Education journals and wider literature. Also, outdoor therapy has common factors with other outdoor and adventure programming factors (e.g. risk management) so wider outdoor related research and literature is relevant when developing outdoor therapy interventions. The following journals are where you would source some outdoor therapy related texts.
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning (JAEOL)The purpose of this international journal is to promote dialogue, research, thinking, understanding, teaching and practice in the field of adventure education and outdoor learning.
Article example, which for a limited period is freely available to download from the JAEOL website of Taylor & Francis (please click on article title to download): Russell, K. C., & Farnum, J. (2004). A concurrent model of the wilderness therapy process. Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 4 (1): 39-55.Journal of Experiential Education (JEE)This American journal is a peer-reviewed, professional journal presenting a diverse range of articles in subject areas such as outdoor adventure programming, environmental education, therapeutic applications, research and theory.
Article example:Neill, J. T. (2003). Reviewing and benchmarking adventure therapy outcomes: Applications of meta-analysis. Journal of Experiential Education, 25 (3), 316-321.
