This groundbreaking book enriches and expands psychoanalytic theory and method as it applies to the climate.
This groundbreaking book enriches and expands psychoanalytic theory and method as it applies to the climate.
It embeds psychoanalysis in environmental and cultural awareness; restores the importance Freud gave to external reality and its mental representations; introduces an integrative concept of climate; and, with its attention to clinical detail, offers steppingstones to practitioners seeking to understand clinical material in which phantasies involving nature, culture and the familial are intertwined. In four parts (Clinical, Theory, Nature, and Research), its authors are psychoanalysts from across the globe.
With Climate in Mind is essential reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in training, the psychotherapy profession, as well as for other professionals engaged with what climate breakdown in a culture of uncare means today.
