Unmoored Yet Unbroken
Ecopsychology for a Changing World Stories of Human-Nature Relationships
About this book
Unmoored Yet Unbroken is less a final statement than a generative offering. It gathers voices from around the world—many early in their careers—who are working to articulate what it means to live and practice in an ecologically disoriented age. What emerges is a collective engagement with resilience, not as simple endurance, but as a relational process—a network of care that spans people, cultures, and ecologies, and leads to the deepening transformation of self. An important contribution to the ecopsychology literature."
— PETER H. KAHN, Jr., Professor of Psychology and Environmental and Forest Sciences, University of Washington; author of Technological Nature: Adaptation and the Future of Human Life
A rich tapestry of global narratives that highlights the psychological impact of environmental changes
Unmoored Yet Unbroken explores the intricate relationship between humans and the natural environment. With stories and observations from urban, suburban, rural, and wild environments, this book challenges ethnocentric perspectives and emphasizes our deep interdependence with the natural world. Protecting and stabilizing this relationship is vital for our mental health and essential in the broader fight against climate change.
This book uncovers the psychological challenges arising from our increasing disconnection from the natural world through a blend of diverse personal narratives, clinical insights, and cultural analysis. It addresses the urgent need to understand how environmental changes impact mental health in every community. By deepening our understanding of how climate change influences the human psyche, Unmoored Yet Unbroken offers an essential perspective for scholars, students, activists, and general readers.
• Explore the clinical implications of ecological change and how they differ globally
• Get a well-rounded perspective grounded in clinical evidence, personal stories, interviews, and survey results
• Understand how ecological changes impact marginalized communities in urban and rural settings
This book addresses gaps in existing literature and offers insights into the unique challenges marginalized groups face in environmental changes.
