Towards an Ecopsychotherapy

by Mary-Jayne Rust

Towards an Ecopsychotherapy offers diverse stories, from the therapy room to therapy in the forest, about the healing process of reconnection with the more-than-human world as well as with our wild animal selves. It provides an insight into ecopsychotherapy in practice and outlines its history, key themes, ideas, and controversies. This book is for anyone in the caring professions who seeks to practice therapy with the earth in mind, and for those struggling with eco-anxiety or eco-grief who wish to deepen their relationship with the earth and find hope in turbulent times.

Illustrates beautifully and articulately our disconnect from the natural world of which we don't see ourselves as part, and the need for us to reassess our assumed position of dominion over the natural (more-than-human) world

I guess I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to psychotherapy. This is in part why I’m underwhelmed by the ideas presented in this book. To me it feels like one of many buzzwords floating about in the field without a whole lot underneath.
