This innovative book examines how family health and well-being have
been impacted by increased alienation from the natural world and
calls for greater incorporation of ecological issues into
therapeutic practice. Positioning environmental activism as a
critical social justice issue, the book highlights the unique
opportunities for family therapists to promote reconnection,
healing, and sustainability by integrating attention to nature and
the environment into their work. Contributors also recommend
clinical ideas, strategies, and interventions that can be employed
as part of this approach to therapy, research, and teaching. Among
the topics covered: Developmental benefits of childhood experiences
with nature Applications of indigenous healing methods in Western
practice Wilderness and adventure therapy immersion Clinical,
educational, and supervisory applications of an eco-informed
approach to therapy The first work of its kind to address the
overlap in environmental and family sustainability in the field of
family therapy, Eco-Informed Practice: Family Therapy in an Age of
Ecological Peril fills a significant gap in family therapy
literature. Students and professionals in mental health fields will
find this book an enlightening perspective on family therapy as
well as a set of useful guidelines for implementing this exciting
new approach in clinical practice.
