"This second edition of Ecotherapy is an essential and timely expansion of the field's conceptual basis, offering both scholarly depth and practical insight. With updated research and fresh perspectives, Joe Hinds and Hayley Marshall skilfully bridge psychology and ecology to illuminate our interdependence with the natural world while honouring and building on the work of their late colleague Martin Jordan. This now expanded anthology remains a cornerstone for students, practitioners, and educators committed to fostering ecological well-being and human flourishing." -- Nevin J. Harper, Outdoor Education and Therapy Trainer, Researcher, Consultant and Author, Canada "Ecotherapy expresses the creative friction between art and science and this book skilfully mirrors that dynamic. From chapter to chapter, readers of all types - from educators, to clinical supervisors, to practitioners and students - will find sustenance here, as the authors blend theory and practice, empirical data and intuition, science and spirituality. The healing presence of nature shines through its pages." -- Paul Deal, Associate Professor of Clinical Mental Health Counselling, State University of New York Plattsburgh, USA "This book shows the intellectual depth, breadth and maturity that has been achieved in the field of ecotherapy, which is now claiming its place as central to the future of psychotherapy.
As we rapidly awake to the unfolding systemic ecological and social consequences of our current disconnect from both the inner and outer natural world, this book is an essential read for both trainees and experienced practitioners." -- Roger Duncan, Systemic, Family and Eco Psychotherapist, UK "A foundational book in the field of ecotherapy. Joe Hinds, Hayley Marshall and Martin Jordan's updated Ecotherapy draws on global expertise to illuminate the expanding field of nature-based therapy. This revised edition deepens an understanding of nature's positive impact on mental health by sharing experiences, new international perspectives and research, as well as innovative approaches to education and therapy. A must-read for anyone studying or practicing ecotherapy." -- Megan Delaney, Associate Professor of Psychology, Monmouth University, USA.
