Beskrivning
Ecotherapy: A Field Guide presents an extensive review of the field of ecotherapy that unearths a number of ambiguities in the way this therapy is understood and described. The review explores six themes derived from a critical analysis of the findings: human and nature; therapy and therapeutic; wilderness and wild; physical and meta-physical; culture and indigeneity; and the skin-bound self and the ecological Self. Throughout their exploration, the authors privilege traditions which predate the modern interest in this subject. They propose a new metatheory for ecotherapy practice that aims to bring some cohesion to the field, honour its heritage, and support its future development. Ultimately, the guide argues that great care should be taken in how ecotherapy is practiced and described, as many of the terms currently being used are culturally inappropriate and therapeutically counterproductive.

Recensioner i media

'The writing is lucid and a pleasure to read. The research question is well formulated, the search strategy is systematic and the discussion section provides good examples of critical thinking. Because the authors explain their thinking, research students will find it a useful guide when writing their own literature reviews. [...] To clear the confusion, the authors offer a new paradigm for understanding ecotherapy that varies according to the practitioner's view of therapy and nature. Truly ecological therapists, they argue, go beyond the therapeutic dyad and see 'therapeutic potential' in our complex web of relationships with the plant. [...] Psychotherapists and counsellors seeking a more ecological way of working that takes account of our relationship with the planet as well as each other will find this book stimulating.'
