Description:

3 semester hours This course explores the psychology of humankind's relationship with the natural world. We will see how the health of the natural world is dependent upon our psychological health and correlatively, how our psychological well-being is dependent upon the well-being of the natural world. We will explore how psychopathology and environmental degradation are interrelated, and consider the role of psychology in responding to ecological crisis. Valuing an integrative and interdisciplinary approach, readings from various branches of psychology will be supplemented by those from ecology, philosophy, literature, and the world's spiritual traditions.
