Ecotherapy

This second edition of Ecotherapy is an essential and timely expansion of the field’s conceptual basis, offering both scholarly depth and practical insight. With updated research and fresh perspectives, Joe Hinds and Hayley Marshall skilfully bridge psychology and ecology to illuminate our interdependence with the natural world while honouring and building on the work of their late colleague Martin Jordan. This now expanded anthology remains a cornerstone for students, practitioners, and educators committed to fostering ecological well-being and human flourishing. * Nevin J.

Ecotherapy expresses the creative friction between art and science and this book skilfully mirrors that dynamic. From chapter to chapter, readers of all types - from educators, to clinical supervisors, to practitioners and students - will find sustenance here, as the authors blend theory and practice, empirical data and intuition, science and spirituality. The healing presence of nature shines through its pages. * Paul Deal, Associate Professor of Clinical Mental Health Counselling, State University of New York Plattsburgh, USA *
