the reasoning by Kerstin Engström about the effect of referring to research and the reasoning

required evidence and legitimation while the other viewed nature-supported rehabilitation as
such an obviously functioning form of rehabilitation that the claim of evidence and
legitimation wasn’t necessary. (Less)
