In this journey of exploring adventure therapy in the context of occupational therapy I have found that there is limited articles and research on this topic.
Yet there is much overlap between the underpining principles of both.
I think that this is still a relatively new area that is being explored by various therapist's who are enthusiastic about the results they are getting.
Reflecting I think it is because both really value the "doing" of activities. An essential element in any kind of occupational therapy I think through adventure this aspect of "doing" can become "overcoming" as new challenges are met and achievements that were gained from pushing outside ones comfort zone redefines ones meaning and spirituality. I think its this spirituality that gives real "meaning" to meaningful activity.
