About
Expanded new edition of a classic examination of the psychological roots of our ecological crisis.
Personal in its style yet radical in its vision, Radical Eco psychology, Second Edition offers an original introduction to Eco psychology-an emerging field that ties the human mind to the natural world. In order for Eco psychology to be a force for social change, Andy Fisher insists it must become a more comprehensive and critical undertaking. Drawing masterfully from humanistic psychology, hermeneutics, phenomenology, radical ecology, nature writing, and critical theory, he develops a compelling account of how the human psyche still belongs to nature. This daring and innovative book proposes a psychology that will serve all life, providing a solid base not only for Eco psychological practice, but also for a critical theory of modern society. In this second edition, Fisher includes a new preface, a new section looking back at the development of the field since the book's initial publication a decade ago, and a look at the challenges that lie ahead.
