This book draws on recent developments across a range of
perspectives including psychoanalysis, narrative studies, social
practice theory, posthumanism and trans-species psychology, to
establish a radical psychosocial alternative to mainstream
understanding of 'environmental problems'. Only by addressing the
psychological and social structures maintaining unsustainable
societies might we glimpse the possibility of genuinely sustainable
future. The challenges posed by the reality of human-caused
'environmental problems' are unprecedented. Understanding how we
respond to knowledge of these problems is vital if we are to have a
hope of meeting this challenge. Psychology and the social sciences
have been drafted in to further this understanding, and inform
interventions encouraging sustainable behaviour. However, to date,
much of psychology has appeared happy to tinker with individual
behaviour change, or encourage minor modifications in the social
environment aimed at 'nudging' individual behaviour. As the
ecological crisis deepens, it is increasingly recognised that
mainstream understandings and interventions are inadequate to the
collective threat posed by climate change and related ecological
crises.
