What is Ecopsychology? Ecopsychology is situated at the intersection of a number of fields of enquiry, including environmental philosophy, psychology, and ecology, but is not limited by any disciplinary boundaries. At its core, ecopsychology suggests that there is a synergistic relation between planetary and personal well being; that the needs of the one are relevant to the other. What is ecopsychology.org? Our objective at ecopsychology.org is to provide a public forum for our diverse experiences of the human-nature relationship. Through sharing our connections we hope to provide a bridge towards harmony with the planet we inhabit. What is on this Site?

2. ET 4/97: Ecopsychology: Connecting Our Mental Health To Our Environmental Behavi ecopsychology connecting mental health and environmental behavior http://www.sdearthtimes.com/et0497/et0497s7.html

Ecopsychology: connecting our mental health to our environmental behavior An investigation of green behavior, and we don't mean tree-hugging (necessarily) by Catherine Honora Kineavy copsychology is a combination of ecology, "the science of the rela- tionship between organisms and their environments," and psychology, "the science of mental processes or behavior." This fledgling field is attempting to heal the planet and its inhabitants by delving deeply into core personality issues, in an attempt to understand environmental behavior. Our planet's ecological health is directly related to the mental health of its inhabitants. Ecopsychologists, a group of individuals made up of ecologists, psychologists and environmentalists, are working to bring this concept to the public's awareness. Ecopsychologists believe that our destructive environmental behaviors stem from our sense of disconnection to the natural world. They contend that we have an "ecological unconscious" that is repressed in some individuals. This ecological unconscious is our connection to our evolution on earth. In other words, if we recover our sense of connection to our natural world, we will begin to be more environmentally conscious people. One goal of ecopsychologists is to question our notion of sanity in this growth-oriented culture. For example, it is a well-known fact that westerners especially Americans are the world's greatest consumers. It could be argued that we, as a culture, are addicted to consuming. From an ecopsychological perspective, in order for consumers to curtail their overconsumption, the motivating forces of this behavior pattern needs to be identified in order to free individuals from this addiction. Ecopsychologists would argue that the disconnection between self and earth is the reason individuals do not think about the relationship between their consumer choices and ecological destruction. Further, ecopsychologists believe that if we heal the underlying addictive motivations, we will begin to heal the ecological environment because individuals would cease to overconsume, thereby becoming better "environmental citizens."

The Place And The Story: Bioregionalism And Ecopsychology Green Psychology / ecopsychology / Ecological Worldview THE PLACE AND THE STORY BIOREGIONALISM AND ecopsychology Article by Ralph Metzner ecopsychology and bioregionalism are two fields of the emerging new ecological worldview. http://www.rmetzner-greenearth.org/ecopsych.html

Green Psychology / Ecopsychology / Ecological Worldview THE PLACE AND THE STORY: BIOREGIONALISM AND ECOPSYCHOLOGY Article by Ralph Metzner Ecopsychology and bioregionalism are two fields of the emerging new ecological worldview. Both are concerned with revisioning our understanding of human identity in relationship to place, to ecosystem and to nature. Traditional people had a much closer telationship to place. We need to learn to understand ourselves in relationship to a place, and to the story of that place.(Excerpted from the forthcoming book Green Psychology) Ecopsychology may be defined as the expansion and revisioning of psychology to take the ecological context of human life into account. It is not a variation of environmental psychology, which deals mostly with the impact of institutional environments on psychological states. It offers a critique of all existing schools of psychology including the psychodynamic, object relations, cognitive, behaviorist, humanistic and transpersonal for focusing their research solely on the intrapsychic, interpersonal and social dimensions of human life, and ignoring the ecological foundation. The most basic facts of our existence on this Earth that we live in these particular kinds of ecosystems, in biotic communities with these kinds of species of animals and plants, in these particular kinds of geographical and climatological surroundings appears to be irrelevant to our psychology. Yet our own personal experience as well as common sense contradict this self-imposed limitation.

Principles of Ecopsychology Compiled by Will Keepin Ecopsychology Training Oct. 29 - Nov. 5, 1995 Shenoa Retreat and Learning Center The fundamentals of ecopsychology are in the process of being developed. The following statements are offered not as definitive prinicples, but rather as working hypotheses or premises of ecopsychology. The Earth is a living system. Human beings are fundamentally interconnected with the Earth and with all life. Neither the Earth's problems nor humanity's problems can be resolved without taking full account of this interconnection. Ecopsychology seeks to heal the alienation between person and planet, and establish a healthy relationship between the two. A key element of this is recognizing that the needs of the person are the same as the needs of the planet. The rights of the person are the same as the rights of the planet. Rather than viewing the ecological dilemma as a crisis "out there" in our physical environment, ecopsychology recognizes that human consciousness is intricately involved in creating and maintaining the ecological crisis. Ecopsychology calls for a new cosmology that embraces not only scientific models and understandings, but also spiritual teachings, ancient wisdom, and the non-Western knowledge of indigenous cultures.

20. Ecopsychology: Where Does It Fit In Psychology ecopsychology Where does it fit in psychology? by John Scull. ecopsychologylooks for the roots of these problems in human psychology and society. http://www.island.net/~jscull/ecointro.htm

Home Up Ecopsychology : Where does it fit in psychology? by John Scull An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual psychology conference, Malaspina University College, March 26, 1999. Human economic activity is rapidly changing the atmosphere, soil, and water of the earth in ways that are harmful to other species and may be disastrous for us or our descendants (Winter, 1996). Ecopsychology accepts the reality of this ecological crisis and suggests that there is also a spiritual or psychological crisis resulting from our separation from the more-than-human world. Ecopsychology looks for the roots of these problems in human psychology and society. It is an explicitly moral psychology with the goal of discovering how people can connect with the natural world in ways that are healthy and sustainable both for people and for the planet. What ecopsychology is not To avoid confusion, it may be important to distinguish between ecopsychology and a number of fields with very similar names. Ecological psychology . This term usually refers to the perceptual and evolutionary theories of the Gibsons, Reed, and others (Reed, 1996). Sewall (1995) has suggested how perceptual theory might be related to ecopsychology. It is confusing, though, that the phrase "ecological psychology" has been used as the title of a book about ecopsychology (Winter, 1996) and another book about energy conservation and recycling (Howard, 1997).
