Merging together the fields of urban ecology, environmental
justice, and urban environmental education, Urban Ecosystem Justice
promotes building fair, accessible, and mutually beneficial
relationships between citizens and the soils, water, atmospheres,
and biodiversity in their cities. This book provides a framework
for re-centering issues of justice and fairness in sustainability
discourse while challenging the profound ecological alienation
experienced by urban residents. While the urban sustainability
movement has had many successes in the past few decades, there
remain areas for it to grow. For one, the benefits of
sustainability have disproportionately benefited wealthier city
residents, with concerns over equity, justice, and social
sustainability frequently taking a back seat to economic and
environmental considerations. Additionally, many city dwellers
remain estranged from and unfamiliar with ecological processes,
with urban environments often thought of as existing outside of
nature or as hopelessly degraded. Through a citizen-centered lens,
the book offers a guide to reconciling these issues by
demonstrating how questions of equity, access, and justice apply to
the biophysical dimensions of the urban ecosystem: soil, water,
air, waste, and biodiversity. Drawing heavily from the fields of
urban ecology, environmental justice, and ecological design, this
book lays out a science of cities for people: a pedagogical
platform that can be used to promote ecological literacy in
underrepresented urban communities through affordable and
decentralized means. This book provides both a theoretical and
practical field guide to students and researchers of urban
sustainability, city planners, architects, policymakers, and
activists wishing to develop reciprocal relationships with urban
ecologies.

Transformational Chairwork: Using Psychotherapeutic Dialogues in
Clinical Practice is an exposition of the art and science of
Chairwork. It is also a practical handbook for using the Chairwork
method effectively with a wide range of clinical problems.
Originally created by Dr. Jacob Moreno in the 1950s and then
further developed by Dr. Fritz Perls in the 1960s, Chairwork has
been embraced and re-envisioned by therapists from cognitive,
behavioral, existential, Jungian, experiential, psychodynamic, and
integrative perspectives. Transformational Chairwork builds on this
rich and creative legacy and provides a model that is both
integrative and trans-theoretical. The book familiarizes clinicians
with essential dialogue strategies and empowers them to create
therapeutic encounters and re-enactments. Chairwork interventions
can be broadly organized along the lines of external and internal
dialogues. The external dialogues can be used to help patients work
though grief and loss, heal from interpersonal abuse and trauma,
manage difficult relationships, and develop and strengthen their
assertive voice. The internal dialogues in turn focus on resolving
inner conflicts, combatting the negative impact of the inner critic
and the experience of self-hatred, working with dreams and
nightmares, and expanding the self through polarity work. Using
both internal and external strategies, this book explores how
Chairwork dialogues can be a powerful intervention when working
with addictions, social oppression, medical issues, and psychosis.
This is done through the use of compelling clinical examples and
scripts that can be read, studied, and enacted. Chairwork's central
emphasis is helping patients express each of their voices as
distinctly and as forcefully as possible. The book concludes with a
review of the deepening technique-the strategies that therapists
can use to help facilitate clarity and existential ownership.
