RESEARCH: INSTITUTES, GRANTS, AND PUBLICATIONS
“The restorative benefits of nature: Toward
an integrative framework.” S. Kaplan. Journal
of Environmental Psychology. Introduction of Attention Restoration Theory (ART). Distinct from Ulrich’s stress theory, Stephen and Rachel Kaplan developed process of “Attention Restoration” based on the work of psychologist William James. Essentially states, human beings are hardwired to respond to stimuli from the natural environment
in a healthier way (because of the evolutionary Biophilia adaptation), and therefore being in nature is less taxing and more restorative for human mental reserves.
Wayne Jonas, MD, PhD, appointed Office of Alternative Medicine Director (until 1999), begins process of developing the Office into a full Center.
