Exploring Ecopsychology

EcoChat: Spirit - Nature - Change

Psychologist and researcher Dr. Mark Schroll joins Dr. MacDowell for a rich discussion on the history and current direction of the field of ecopsychology (which may be roughly defined as a psychological framework that enables deep exploration of our relatedness to the nonhuman world and each other in the hopes of fostering a healthier tomorrow). Widely published, Dr. Schroll has been a critical figure in clarifying what ecopsychology is and ensuring that it remains historically and philosophically situated to be able to accurately frame important research questions and possible interventions to address the global ecological crisis we face.
