Climate Psychology offers ways to work with the unthinkable and
emotionally unendurable current predicament of humanity. The style
and writing interweave passion and reflection, animation and
containment, radical hope and tragedy to reflect the dilemmas of
our collective crisis. The authors model a relational approach in
their styles of writing and in the book's structure. Four chapters,
each with a strikingly original voice and insight, form the core of
the book, held either end by two jointly written chapters. In
contrast to a psychology that focuses on individual behaviour
change, the authors use a transdisciplinary mix of approaches
(depth psychology and psychotherapy, earth systems, deep ecology,
cultural sociology, critical history, group and institutional
outreach) to bring into focus the predicament of this period. While
the last decade required a focus on climate denial in all its
manifestations (which continues in new ways), a turning point has
now been reached. Increasingly extreme weather across the world is
making it impossible for simple avoidance of the climate threat.
Wendy Hollway, Paul Hoggett, Chris Robertson, and Sally Weintrobe
address how climate psychology illuminates and engages the life and
death challenges that face terrestrial life. This book will appeal
to three core groups. First, mental health and social care
professionals wanting support in containing and potentially
transforming the malaise. Second, activists wanting to participate
in new stories and practices that nurture their engagement with the
present social and cultural crisis. Third, those concerned about
the climate emergency, wanting to understand the deeper context for
this dangerous blindness.
