Zusammenfassung

Naturbasierte Therapieverfahren (NbT) werden mittlerweile von Physiotherapeuten, Ergotherapeuten, Psychologen u. a. für verschiedene Erkrankungen angeboten. Dagegen finden NbT in der Behandlung von Kommunikationsstörungen bisher wenig Anwendung. Hier wird ein Überblick über verschiedene NbT als komplementäre Therapieverfahren gegeben. Insbesondere wird der Einsatz von NbT bei Patienten mit neurologischen Störungsbildern erläutert.

Abstract

Nature-based therapy (NBT) has been incorporated into the practice of many medical and mental health professions. Occupational therapists, physical therapists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and to a lesser extent, speech-language pathologists have used NBT practices as a complementary means of treating a variety of physical, emotional, and cognitive disorders. This article includes a description of NBT and the types that comprise the practice and a review of the literature demonstrating the use of NBT in the general population and, more specifically, with individuals with neurogenic communication disorders.
