Ecotherapy: A Field Guide presents an extensive review of the field
of ecotherapy that unearths a number of ambiguities in the way this
therapy is understood and described. The review explores six themes
derived from a critical analysis of the findings: human and nature;
therapy and therapeutic; wilderness and wild; physical and
meta-physical; culture and indigeneity; and the skin-bound self and
the ecological Self. Throughout their exploration, the authors
privilege traditions which predate the modern interest in this
subject. They propose a new metatheory for ecotherapy practice that
aims to bring some cohesion to the field, honour its heritage, and
support its future development. Ultimately, the guide argues that
great care should be taken in how ecotherapy is practiced and
described, as many of the terms currently being used are culturally
inappropriate and therapeutically counterproductive.Â
