ABSTRACT

The research question has four parts: 1. how nature-based therapy work 2. what the advantages and disadvantages of nature-based therapy 3. People’s view on nature-based therapy 4. how to make nature-based therapy accepted by people. I will focus on the sound therapy and gardening for different kinds of people. It’s not just a question related to nature or medicine, and many other aspects such as psychology and humanities in our lives are closely related to it. As for humanities, the relationship between human and nature will be thought and during our communication with nature the most peaceful place in our heart will be found. Until now some scientists have already created a comprehensive system for nature-based therapy and I will give the detail in the literature review. But what I want to emphasize is that maybe we can come up with some supplements to make the system better. In my research, the effectiveness and feasibility of nature-based therapy will be measured, and its strengths and weakness will be analyzed.
