Description
Depth Psychology and Climate Change offers a nuanced exploration of how ideas from depth psychology can help us navigate the ecological disaster of climate change. By integrating insights from anthropology, politics, spirituality, mythology, and philosophy, contributors examine how climate change affects psychological well-being and propose ways to cultivate hope and radical uncertainty alongside feelings of rage and despair.
The book delves into symbols of transformation, myths, and futures, and is structured to encourage regular reflection. Each contributor brings their own perspective on topics such as green politics, consumerism, and our connection to nature, suggesting responses to mental suffering arising from an unstable international outlook. This book will be of interest to those seeking a new perspective on the climate emergency.
