Surf Therapy: The Renegade Science Behind the New Wave of Treatment for Mental Health, Drug Abuse & Trauma

Author(s): CASH LAMBERT

Surfing

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.

A deep look into the surf therapy movement, the therapists at the forefront of this radical new treatment, and its many applications for treating anxiety, PTSD, and more.
