Abstract

This paper presents reasoning and evidence for the need to create and implement wilderness-based couples therapy programming. The introduction provides information related to evidence-based couples therapy modalities, nature-based therapy modalities, as well as the gaps in the literature illustrating the need for the invention and implementation of this new integration of services. A program intensive that involves individualized, wilderness based, couples therapy is presented. In addition, limitations and future and multicultural considerations are discussed.
