Originally published in the European Journal of Psychoanalysis
(EJP), the essays in this volume are a set of responses to the
coronavirus crisis by distinguished philosophers and psychoanalysts
from around the globe. The coronavirus irrupted making swift and
deep cuts in the fabric of our existence: the risks of contagion
and indefinite periods of isolation have radically altered the
functioning of society. Pandemics do not wait for comprehension in
order to proliferate. Confusion, sickness, and death punctuate the
failure of governments worldwide to respond. This collection of
writings examines the effects of the pandemic and the conditions
that make possible such a global crisis. The writers provoke us to
consider how capitalism, governmental power, and biopolitics mold
the contours of life and death. The contributors in this collection
ignite urgent political dialogue, address emergent transformations
in the social field and offer perspectives on shifts in
subjectivity and psychoanalytic practice. Beyond providing
reflections on the impact of the coronavirus, the authors point to
determinants of how the crisis will unfold and what may be on the
horizon. This book will be invaluable to psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists, philosophers, and to all those interested in the
implications of the virus for psychoanalytic practice and theory,
and the social, cultural and political spheres of our world.

This book seeks to confront an apparent contradiction: that while
we are constantly attending to environmental issues, we seem to be
woefully out of touch with nature. The goal of Ecopsychology,
Phenomenology and the Environment is to foster an enhanced
awareness of nature that can lead us to new ways of relating to the
environment, ultimately yielding more sustainable patterns of
living. This volume is different from other books in the rapidly
growing field of ecopsychology in its emphasis on phenomenological
approaches, building on the work of phenomenological psychologists
such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty. This focus on phenomenological
methodologies for articulating our direct experience of nature
serves as a critical complement to the usual methodologies of
environmental and conservation psychologists, who have emphasized
quantitative research. Moreover, Ecopsychology, Phenomenology and
the Environment is distinctive insofar as chapters by
phenomenologically-sophisticated ecopsychologists are complemented
by chapters written by phenomenological researchers of
environmental issues with backgrounds in philosophy and geology,
providing a breadth and depth of perspective not found in other
works written exclusively by psychologists.
