> In 1995, Sierra Club Books published Ecopsychology: Restoring the  
> Earth, Healing the Mind, the influential anthology edited by  
> Theodore Roszak, Mary Gomes, and Allen Kanner that brought together  
> psychologists and ecologists to define a new discipline and a new  
> vision of planetary and personal health. Since then, more the more  
> people have come to psychotherapy with concerns and fears about  
> humankind’s damaged relationship with the web of life we depend on— 
> and therapists are asking: Where can I find out more about the  
> psycheworld connection? How can I do hands-on work in this area?  
> This new volume=2 0is the eagerly awaited response.
>
> Ecotherapy, or applied ecopsychology, encompasses a broad range of  
> nature-based methods of psychological healing, grounded in the  
> crucial fact that people are inseparable from the rest of nature and  
> nurtured by healthy interaction with the Earth. Leaders in the  
> field, including Theodore Roszak, Robert Greenway, and Mary Watkins,  
> contribute essays that take into account the latest scientific  
> understandings and the deepest indigenous wisdom. Other key  
> thinkers, from Bill McKibben to Richard Louv to Joanna Macy, explore  
> the links between ecotherapy, spiritual development, and restoring  
> community.
>
> As mental-health professionals find themselves challenged to provide  
> hard evidence that their practices actually work, and as costs for  
> traditional modes of psychotherapy rise rapidly out of sight, this  
> book offers practitioners and interested lay readers alike a  
> spectrum of safe, effective alternative approaches backed by a  
> growing body of research.
>
> Linda Buzzell, founder of the International Association for  
> Ecotherapy, is a psychotherapist and career counselor in private  
> practice; she lives in Santa Barbara, California. Craig Chalquist  
> teaches psychology and related fields at John F. Kennedy University  
> and is the author of two previous books; he lives in Walnut Creek,  
> California.
