| "More keen-eyed
companion than therapist, Susan Scott nudges us to look for lessons
in healing that lie beyond the manicured space of therapeutic practice.
With her camera and stories, she invites us to see the young maple
springing from the burl, a wound, on an ancient tree. Along the way,
she invites us to heal that which can be healed, and perhaps more
important, to carry forth with exuberant new life that which we must
take on."
~James S. Korcuska, Ph.D. NCC, Resource Review Editor for Counseling

"Healing With Nature is an inspirational
book that gives depth insight into the heart of healing. Beautifully
written, the book shows how the simple act of walking in nature
can be a profound healing process available to everyone. Susan Scott
shares her own story of healing a painful back injury, along with
other people's stories of healing somatic and psychological illnesses.
She shows us a way to heal our wounds as we learn to be with the
healing gifts of nature."

"Susan Scott's Healing With Nature is a
lyrical, literary journey through nature and through Jungian concepts
of healing. A delightful amalgam of science, natural science, and
beautiful description, Healing With Nature is about the difficult
craft of being human. All those who love nature or are concerned
with personal growth will find this irresistible. This is psychology
in its finest form--storytelling."

"How to describe this extraordinary book!
Susan Scott's stunning photographs, her lovingly attentive verbal
descriptions of woods like those I and my dogs walk in each morning
has enabled me to notice the amazing stories embedded in the beautiful
and miraculous pattern of growth of this cedar or that fir, as it
has responded to the particular challenges of its immediate setting
and life history. She helps us see how our lives--her own, those
of her patients and friends, mine--are informed by the same natural
patterns, exhibit the same fierce resilience, the same quiet coming
to terms."
