Therapeutic Camping

The wilderness camp has been described as a particularly good setting for treatment of the emotionally disturbed child. This article summarizes the current literature on therapeutic camping, including the nature of existing programs, rationales for the superiority of camping as a therapeutic program, and evaluation of existing programs. The results of program evaluation research reported in the literature provide only minimal support for any particular effectiveness ascribed to therapeutic camping in terms of either short term or long term therapeutic outcome. This is seen to be largely due to inadequate investigation of the process and/or the outcome of therapeutic camping.

Projective Techniques

Projective techniques are used extensively by occupational therapists for both evaluation and treatment. This modality is especially valuable in treating children with limited abilities in verbal communication. Emotionally disturbed children often experience difficulties in verbally expressing their thoughts and feelings. “Mostly me” is a collection of stencils designed to foster the development of a positive self-concept in healthy school age children. In the authors' opinion, these stencils can be used as a stimulus with the emotionally disturbed child to elicit the expression of disturbing feelings and conflicts. Projective media, such as “Mostly me”, constitutes a valuable tool for the occupational therapist in the treatment of the emotionally disturbed child.
