Taylor & francis ltd Nature in mind (Taylor & Francis Ltd)

In a time of apparent global crisis, ecopsychology is a rapidly emerging new field that attracts those concerned with the state of the planet and Psychotherapists wanting to bring nature more fully into their practise. Exploring both ecology and psychotherapy from a systemic perspective, Soul and Nature steps beyond our current Darwinian paradigm in search our deep psychological relationships with nature and what stories nature can tell us about healthy psychological development. Drawing on ideas from Systemic practice, contemporary neuroscience and the narratives that have sustained the relationship between our indigenous ancestors and the earth for millennia, Soul and Nature explores the integration of nature and the human psyche and suggests ideas and practises that might help us remember our lost eco psychological heritage.
