Wilderness therapy has the potential to meet the specific needs of the current adolescent population by providing a rather unique outdoor group treatment.

This article presents a critical realist exploration of a wilderness therapy program that was recent…
The effectiveness of wilderness therapy as mental health treatment for adolescents in Norway
