| Description: | Select Guide Rating Surf therapy is producing better results than traditional therapies today for certain mental health issues, PTSD and related traumas, and autism, for example. And a dedicated group of therapists are leading the way with this radical new approach. It examines today''s current form of therapy for each population and compares it to the growing body of evidence for surfing as a form of therapy. With these stories serving as the current state of therapy, the book also details the first ever written history of surf therapy and examines how in the near future, wave pools will provide this kind of therapy to those living inland. You''ll read about how surfing helps the following populations: At-risk children in inner-city in San Francisco; Police officers in England with PTSD; New Zealanders trapped in the cycle of drug abuse and imprisonment; Children living in the radiation zone of Chernobyl; Young adults across the US living with cystic fibrosis; Children in poverty-stricken townships in South Africa; and more. With interviews from today''s leading neurologists, doctors, and scientists, Surf Therapy is a story of renegade science, resilience, and the lengths that humans will go to help one another in need. |
