Adbusters: Ecopsychology Photographs by Mackenzie Stroh. We are out of touch with nature and,according to the premises of ecopsychology, it is making us sick. http://www.adbusters.org/magazine/30/ecopsychology/2.html
Extractions: Photographs by Mackenzie Stroh We are out of touch with nature and, according to the premises of ecopsychology, it is making us sick. A hybrid of ecology and psychology, ecopsychology makes some blindingly obvious points. When Voice of the Earth came out in 1992, public interest in the environment had reached a peak. But you opened with a sharp critique of your fellow environmentalists. Why? They had become "doomy and gloomy," as their critics called them. They were working toward a sort of puritanical social ethic that was threatening to many people. For example, for 20 years environmentalists had been working away on the problem of disposable diapers, for which they had been guilt-tripping American mothers on grounds that they were polluting and filling up the landfills. When they decided to actually do some homework, environmentalists found that the alternatives to disposables were often more environmentally costly because of the hot water, bleach, electricity and so on. And some of them said, "Why don’t we just drop this issue, because we are creating a lot of ill will by vilifying mothers, especially our working class mothers?" It was an opportunity to reconsider the strategies of the movement, and to come up with a very different approach. Your approach was a bridge between ecology and psychology, an idea that lead to the book. How did you come up with that?

Overview Of Ecopsychology OVERVIEW OF ecopsychology. INTRODUCTION. ecopsychology is developingrapidly as a field of study, and it has no single definition yet. http://clem.mscd.edu/~davisj/ep/ecopsy.html
Extractions: RECOMMENDED READING INTRODUCTION Ecopsychology is developing rapidly as a field of study, and it has no single definition yet. The term is used in different ways by several different practitioners and researchers. My aim here is to summarize what I see as the main themes or contributions of Ecopsychology. By the way, when I say these are insights, I do not mean to imply that they are unique or original to Ecopsychology. Our ancestors who lived close to the Earth as well as indigenous people around the world today have a bead on these understandings. Among the origins of this field are the following: Theodore Roszak was one of the first to develop this term and write about it for a general audience. His books

Extractions: June 26 - July 1, 1994 What is the most effective way to encourage healthy environmental behavior? Is our consumer culture a form of psychopathology? Has the city become the implacable enemy of nature? Can modern industrial societies recapture the ecological insights that lay buried in their indigenous past? What is the role of the churches and of pastoral counseling in the environmental crisis? Can environmental law protect the sacred in nature? What is the best way to introduce ecopsychology into the universities? These are some of the questions that came under discussion at Ecopsychology: Theory and Practice 1994, an invitational conference sponsored by the Ecopsychology Institute and held at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California from June 26 to July 1, 1994. In the following pages we offer a brief summary of the main issues and insights that emerged at this event, where a group of environmental writers, activists, ministers, therapists, poets, media specialists, scholars and teachers met to explore how our individual and collective psyches interact with what David Abram called the "more-than-human world." This report may be more useful in raising questions rather than providing answers. But that is in the spirit of the gathering. Participants came with a commitment to using the unstructured, leaderless format of the meetings primarily as "invitations to dialogue."

Jane Goodall "It is a remarkable fact that, despite its significance for human welfare, the relation of the mind to the natural world has been largely ignored by science. The contributors to this volume scout the unmapped territory far ahead; I hope that many others will soon follow." Edward O. Wilson "A glad welcome to this affirmation by a group of psychologists that the self does not stop at the skin nor even with the circle of human relationships but is interwoven with the lives of trees and animals and soil; that caring for the deepest needs of persons and caring for our threatened planet are not in conflict." Mary Catherine Bateson

Extractions: AS: What exactly is Ecopsychology? Gray: Ecopsychology is an emerging field which recognizes the fact that we cannot have sanity without sane relationships with the environment. At the dawn of the 21st century, this may seem so obvious as to be embarrassing. Nevertheless, the field of psychology has largely ignored the most critical issues of our time (and, indeed, the most critical issue humanity has ever faced)-whether life itself on this planet will be sustainable. Regardless of theoretical orientation-psychoanalytic, behavioral or transpersonal-the focus of psychology has remained on human beings and their relations with one another. Ecopsych-ology is a movement away from specieism and toward a view of human beings as part of the circle of life. This view turns out to be simultaneously humbling and empowering. AS: What is the goal of Ecopsychology: How do you work with people in your framework? Gray: The first immediate goal is to bring together the two fields of ecology and psychology. In particular, it is to bring together what ecological scientists and eco-activists have learned about sustainability with what psychologists know about changing human behavior. Unfortunately, well-intentioned ecologists often don't know a lot about changing human behavior. For example, they still rely on fear and guilt tactics to get their messages across. Another goal, insofar as therapeutic treatment is concerned, is to begin working with a model of mental health that includes the natural world. If visitors from another planet were to read the book contemporary mental health practitioners based their treatment plans on-"The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV"-they might conclude we human beings could have a healthy psyche if we were raised entirely in a broom closet-as long as there was a mother and a father inside also. The only references to nature in the "DSM IV" they would find would be "seasonal affective disorder" or "bestiality." New writings and research in ecopsychology seek to raise consciousness about this kind of anthropomorphism.

Extractions: An Exploration of Ecopsychology Today, a similar series of lectures might draw its material from reports of ozone depletion, toxic waste, and the greenhouse effect. These commonplace environmental problems have become the psychopathology of our everyday life. They reveal a condition of the soul for which Freud would have had no name. Ecopolitics ecophilosophy ecofeminism ecoconsumerism , even ecoterrorism The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual macrocosm microcosm For the better part of two hundred years, keeping these two realms divorced and not even on speaking terms has been the signal endeavor of rational thought and sound science. Matter to one side, mind to the other. Out there , the objective; in here What the new cosmology lacks is the moral consensus that philosophers and artists once bestowed upon the Newtonian worldview. That consensus held for as long as science grounded itself in divine authority and vouched for the importance of human reason. Nothing has been more futile than our effort over the past few centuries to establish values and define sanity within a cultural context that finds no place for the sacred and views life as a marginal anomaly in the universe. The cosmology that gave us that picture of the human condition has now faded from the scene. The time is ripe for a new dialogue between scientific intellect and human need.

Ecopsychology, stemming from an inter-disciplinary foundation, offers practitioners from various fields of study a singular place for discussion, research and exploration of our relationship with nature, both personal and culturally, and how this relationship forms our perceptions of the world around us and influences our behaviors and relationships with other humans. At least that's how I see it. For other different, but similar, definitions of ecopsychology, please refer to the sites on the Links page.
