What is Ecopsychology? Ecopsychology, or eco-psychology as it is sometimes called, is situated at the intersection of a number of fields of enquiry, including environmental philosophy, psychology, and ecology, but is not limited by any disciplinary boundaries. At its core, ecopsychology suggests that there is a synergistic relation between planetary and personal well being; that the needs of the one are relevant to the other. What is ecopsychology.org? Our objective at ecopsychology.org is to provide a public forum for our diverse experiences of the human-nature relationship. Through sharing our connections we hope to provide a bridge towards harmony with the planet we inhabit. What is on this Site?

Ecopsychology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search It has been suggested that Conservation Psychology be merged into this article or section. ( Discuss This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality Discussion of this nomination can be found on the talk page (December 2007) Ecopsychology connects psychology and ecology . The political and practical implications are to show humans ways of healing alienation and to build a sane society and a sustainable culture. Theodore Roszak is credited with coining the term in his 1992 book, The Voice of the Earth . This was a call for the development of a field in which Psychology would go out of the built environment to examine why people continue to behave in "crazy" ways that damage the environment , and the environmental movement would find new ways to motivate people to action, ways more positive than protest . Roszak expanded the idea in the 1995 anthology, Ecopsychology , which he co-edited with Mary Gomes and Allen Kanner. This book, with articles by each of the editors and many others who would become prominent voices in the field, is still considered by many to be an excellent primer on Ecopsychology. As mentioned by Roszak, there are a variety of other names used to describe this field: Psychoecology, ecotherapy, environmental psychology , global therapy, green therapy, Earth-centered therapy, reearthing, nature-based psychotherapy, shamanic counselling, sylvan therapy.

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

Env Psych, Env Problems, and Env Action (under construction) Reflections on Ecopsychology AUTHOR INFORMATION ECOPSYCHOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY This section deals with ecopsychology, some aspects of environmental psychology, and the intersection of nature, the human psyche, and spirit. Ecopsychology and environmental psychology are two of the disciplines which deal directly with human-nature relationships. They seek to complement other disciplines dealing with these relationships, including aspects of ecology, human geography, environmental action and sustainability, architecture and design, and ecophilosophy. Environmental psychology is a well-established academic field with a strong research base. Its focus is the way humans interact with their environments, including built and natural environments. Ecopsychology, an emerging orientation, draws from ecology, psychology, and philosophy, as well as other fields. It is based on the intimate connection between humans and nature, the implications of that connection, and applications for realizing that connection. Many, but not all, environmental psychologists tend toward more reductionistic models of human nature, while ecopsychologists tend toward more expansive and less dualistic models of human-nature relationships. While my main interests are the transpersonal and spiritual aspects of ecopsychology, I taught college courses on environmental psychology for some years and I value its contributions. The intersection of environmental psychology and ecopsychology is useful for both fields.

ECOPSYCHOLOGY - THEORY AND PRACTICE The Second Esalen Institute Invitational Conference June 26 - July 1, 1994 INTRODUCTION THE CONFERENCE 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."

SOME months ago, Catherine McLendon and her husband, Martin, decided to talk to a psychologist. The couple have a blended family with three adolescent sons, and they wanted guidance in easing some typical adjustment problems. But a few sessions in, Ms. McLendon, a floral designer, and Mr. McLendon, a bus driver, realized their worries extended beyond the demands of work, school and extracurricular sports. Dr. Shulmire is a practitioner of ecopsychology, a new form of therapy that is starting to find a following in this green-minded corner of the United States. Like traditional therapy, ecopsychology examines personal interactions and family systems, while also encouraging patients to develop a relationship to nature. Therapists like Dr. Shulmire use several techniques, from encouraging patients besieged by multitasking to spend more time outdoors to exploring how their upbringing and family background influence their approach to the natural world.

Return Home Download File Ecopsychology F. Kenneth Freedman Introduction We live in a racist , patriarchal and anti-erotic society, Lorde writes in "Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power." We live in a pornographic society that insists on the separation of so many inseparable things; that insists on ways of thinking that separate the body from the world, the body from the mind, nature from culture, men from women, black from white; a society that insists on bounded categories of difference. But we can use erotic power to resist those splitting forces. The erotic is a sensual bridge that connects the spiritual and the political. It has something to do with love. The word itself comes from the Greek word eros , the personification of love in all its aspectsborn of Chaos and personifying creative power and harmony. Eros is not about what we do but about how acutely and fully we can feel in the doing, says Lorde. Its opposite, the pornographic, emphasizes sensation without feeling. Pornographic relationships are those that are born not of human erotic feeling and desire, not of a love of life and a love of the body, but those relationships, those ideas born of a fear of bodily knowledge and a desire to silence the erotic.... California house to the bedroom (which I shared with an older brother); the outdoors at night; and most certainly being out in the wilderness, day or night. I have never felt comfortable in "Nature" and never been able to draw on her healing powers. I’m a prime candidate for wilderness therapy.

17. ET 4/97: Ecopsychology: Connecting Our Mental Health To Our Environmental Behavi An article on the investigation of green behavior by Catherine Honora Kineavy. http://www.sdearthtimes.com/et0497/et0497s7.html

Ecopsychology: connecting our mental health to our environmental behavior An investigation of green behavior, and we don't mean tree-hugging (necessarily) by Catherine Honora Kineavy copsychology is a combination of ecology, "the science of the rela- tionship between organisms and their environments," and psychology, "the science of mental processes or behavior." This fledgling field is attempting to heal the planet and its inhabitants by delving deeply into core personality issues, in an attempt to understand environmental behavior. Our planet's ecological health is directly related to the mental health of its inhabitants. Ecopsychologists, a group of individuals made up of ecologists, psychologists and environmentalists, are working to bring this concept to the public's awareness. Ecopsychologists believe that our destructive environmental behaviors stem from our sense of disconnection to the natural world. They contend that we have an "ecological unconscious" that is repressed in some individuals. This ecological unconscious is our connection to our evolution on earth. In other words, if we recover our sense of connection to our natural world, we will begin to be more environmentally conscious people. One goal of ecopsychologists is to question our notion of sanity in this growth-oriented culture. For example, it is a well-known fact that westerners especially Americans are the world's greatest consumers. It could be argued that we, as a culture, are addicted to consuming. From an ecopsychological perspective, in order for consumers to curtail their overconsumption, the motivating forces of this behavior pattern needs to be identified in order to free individuals from this addiction. Ecopsychologists would argue that the disconnection between self and earth is the reason individuals do not think about the relationship between their consumer choices and ecological destruction. Further, ecopsychologists believe that if we heal the underlying addictive motivations, we will begin to heal the ecological environment because individuals would cease to overconsume, thereby becoming better "environmental citizens."
