Description
Alison Chown explores how outdoor environments can be used in play therapy to offer children more than traditional indoor settings. By moving practice into natural spaces, the therapeutic relationship becomes more democratic and inclusive.
This approach synthesises traditions of using outdoor spaces in a therapeutic context with approaches from educational perspectives, offering a practical framework for taking play therapy into natural environments. The benefits of this approach include supporting the development of children's body self and recognition of our interdependence with nature.
