But the bombing of the federal office building in Oklahoma City in April 1995—and the suspicion that an army veteran of the Persian Gulf War may be the perpetrator of that deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil—will erase forever the false notion that this threat comes from beyond our shores. Home-grown terrorists have long scarred America's landscape with guns and bombs. From our biggest metrop- olises to the heartland cities, these true believers have struck. When they surface, their acts give us a glimpse into a shadowy world of fear. Often with political aims, they target their weapons at individuals and institutions they be- lieve are conspiring against the true America and its sacred Constitution.

Ostavio je traga ne samo kao teniski igrač već kao i trener i sportski komentator. Za vrijeme svoje sportske karijere bio je poznat po svom popularnom „dive-u“ a Tennis Magazin ga je rangirao kao jedanaestog najboljeg igrača u periodu od 1965-2005 godine. Kao njegovi veći uspjesi navode se i 6 Grand Slam titula, Olimpijsko zlato i 13 Master titula. Tri godine je bio dio tima tada tenisera broj 1, Novaka Đokoviča, s kojim je nizao mnoge uspjehe kao trener. Njegov život je nekada bio, a i sada je, veoma dinamičan i turbulentan zbog čega je privlačio puno pažnje javnosti. Svoje poslovne i privatne priče podijelio je sa publikom u svojoj autobiografiji. Zbog svojih velikih uspjeha često se pominje kada se govori o sportu, ne samo kao jedan od najuspješnijih tenisera, već i kao jedan od nauspješnijih sportista uopšte, kao i trenera.

Lundy Smith College Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.smith.edu/theses Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Lundy, Fiona C., "Ecotherapists' perceptions about the efficacy of their work" (2015). Masters Thesis, Smith College, Northampton, MA. https://scholarworks.smith.edu/theses/699 This Masters Thesis has been accepted for inclusion in Theses, Dissertations, and Projects by an authorized administrator of Smith ScholarWorks. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Fiona C. Lundy Ecotherapists’ Perceptions about the Efficacy of their Work ABSTRACT This qualitative, exploratory study sought to answer the question, what do ecotherapists think makes their nature-based therapy (NBT) work effective and for whom? Twelve American mental health clinicians who practice NBT’s (including animal-assisted therapy (AAT), horticultural therapy (HT), nature-reconnection practices (NRP’s), and wilderness therapy (WT)) regularly in their professional work were recruited using snowball sampling. Semi-structured interviews revealed that practitioners explain NBTs’ effectiveness by citing the biological, psychological, spiritual, and therapeutic power of the natural world, the different ways that NBT’s are structured, and additional factors that are unknown. Participants shared varied views about whom ecotherapies best serve; some stated they could benefit anyone, while others identified groups based on age, gender, and mental health diagnoses. Those with severe mental health issues, medical contraindications, and objections or lack of access to NBT’s were identified as not benefitting from them. In addition, half of participants expressed concerns about the accessibility of NBT’s.
