Beskrivning
Although the environmental and physical effects of climate change have long been recognised, little attention has been given to the profound negative impact on mental health. Leslie Davenport presents comprehensive theory, strategies and resources for addressing key clinical themes specific to the psychological impact of climate change.She explores the psychological underpinnings that have contributed to the current global crisis, and offers robust therapeutic interventions for dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and other clinical mental health conditions resulting from environmental damage and disaster. She emphasizes the importance of developing resilience and shows how to utilise the many benefits of guided imagery and mindful presence techniques, and carry out interventions that draw on expert research into ecopsychology, wisdom traditions, earth-based indigenous practices and positive psychology. The strategies in this book will cultivate transformative, person-centred ways of being, resulting in regenerative lifestyles that benefit both the individual and the planet.

Recensioner i media

Emotional Resiliency for the Era of Climate Change is a courageous exploration of the impact that facing the realities of climate change can have on people's mental health and well-being and a much-needed catalyst for teaching people tools of resiliency in a time of planet-wide crisis. The author is bold in her vision, both evocative and encouraging, and skillful in teaching the reflections and exercises that guide the reader from grief, confusion, or passivity through needed shifts in perspectives and lifestyle to wise, grounded, effective action.
