Ecotherapy: Healing Ourselves, Healing the Earth [B2091]

1996 PB in nice clean condition. Here is a trailblazing book on issues of vital interest to the future of humankind. Ecotherapy: Healing Ourselves, Healing the Earth sheds light on humankind's most serious health challenge ever--how to save our precious planet as a clean, viable habitat. As a guide for therapists, health professionals, pastoral counselors, teachers, medical healers, and especially parents, Ecotherapy: Healing Ourselves, Healing the Earth highlights readers' strategic opportunities to help our endangered human species cope constructively with the unprecedented challenge of saving a healthful planet for future generations. It introduces readers to an innovative approach to ecologically-grounded personality theory, spirituality, ecotherapy, and education. The book shares the author's well-developed theories and methods of ecological diagnosis, treatment, and education so professionals and parents, our most influential teachers, can rise to the challenge of saving our planet. The theories and practical applications presented in the book come together to explore long-overlooked issues at the boundary between human health and the health of the natural environment.

From the very few Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Howard was a dear friend and one of the most important authors, professors and visionaries ever to have lived. This book, Ecotherapy, was ahead of its time and so was not used to the capacity of its important messages to the world now." From other sources: "Clinebell's conviction is that when we are nurturing nature, we learn to be nurtured by nature; this is the "ecological circle" that brings us to a spiritual closeness to the Earth. The message of this book is clear: humans need to be intimately connected to nature to be whole and healthy. This book offers outstanding suggestions for how to engage people in the practice of eco-therapy and eco-education and to promote eco-bonding. Eco-therapy is a new concept to me; I think it's very useful and I would suggest that my peers use the interventions highlighted in the book as well."
