Exploring contributions from Freudian, Kleinian, Object Relations, Self Psychology, Jungian, and Lacanian traditions, the book discusses how psychoanalysis can help to unmask the anxieties, deficits, conflicts, phantasies and defences crucial in understanding the human dimension of the ecological crisis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet despite being essential to studying environmentalism and its discontents, psychoanalysis still remains largely a 'psychology without ecology.' The philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, combined with new developments in the sciences of complexity, help us to build upon the best of these perspectives, providing a framework able to integrate Guattari's 'three ecologies' of mind, nature and society. This book thus constitutes a timely attempt to contribute towards a critical dialogue between psychoanalysis and ecology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurther topics of discussion include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eecopsychology and the greening of psychotherapy \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eour ambivalent relationship to nature and the non-human \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecomplexity theory in psychoanalysis and ecology \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edefence mechanisms against eco-anxiety and eco-grief \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeleuzeGuattari and the three ecologies \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ebecoming-animal in horror and eco-apocalypse in science fiction films\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003enonlinear ecopsychoanalysis. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn our era of anxiety, denial, paranoia, apathy, guilt, hope, and despair in the face of climate change, this book offers a fresh and insightful psychoanalytic perspective on the ecological crisis.
