In the 14 years since Sierra Club Books published Theodore Roszak, Mary E. Gomes, and Allen D. Kanner's groundbreaking anthology, Ecopsychology: Restoring the Earth, Healing the Mind, the editors of this new volume have often been asked: Where can I find out more about the psyche–world connection? How can I do hands–on work in this area? Ecotherapy was compiled to answer these and other urgent questions.
Ecotherapy, or applied ecopsychology, encompasses a broad range of nature–based methods of psychological healing, grounded in the crucial fact that people are inseparable from the rest of nature and nurtured by healthy interaction with the Earth. Leaders in the field, including Robert Greenway, and Mary Watkins, contribute essays that take into account the latest scientific understandings and the deepest indigenous wisdom. Other key thinkers, from Bill McKibben to Richard Louv to Joanna Macy, explore the links among ecotherapy, spiritual development, and restoring community.
As mental–health professionals find themselves challenged to provide hard evidence that their practices actually work, and as costs for traditional modes of psychotherapy rise rapidly out of sight, this book offers practitioners and interested lay readers alike a spectrum of safe, effective alternative approaches backed by a growing body of research.

      This volume of essays-a reinvented version of a book published in 1995, the nascence of ecotherapy-explores nature-based psychotherapy and how to incorporate mental healing with our bond with the earth. The editors are uniquely qualified in the field: Buzzell is the founder of the International Association for Ecotherapy and a practicing psychotherapist; Chalquist is a professor of psychology at John F. Kennedy University. Various pieces address the practical aspects of "greening" psychotherapy, and Theodore Roszak, Robert Greenway, Mary Watkins, all leaders in their field, and others present the latest scientific findings. Copious notes, references and resources complete the book. Verdict: The book is ideally suited to an academic library that supports a growing psychology and psychotherapy program for professionals.-Cynde Suite, Bartow Cty. Lib. Syst., Cartersville, GA
