With Climate in Mind

This groundbreaking book enriches and expands psychoanalytic theory and method as it applies to the climate.

It embeds psychoanalysis within environmental and cultural awareness; restores the importance Freud placed on external reality and its mental representations; introduces an integrative concept of climate; and, with its attention to clinical detail, offers stepping stones for practitioners seeking to understand clinical material in which phantasies involving nature, culture, and family are intertwined. Presented in four parts – Clinical, Theory, Nature, and Research – its authors are psychoanalysts from across the world.

With Climate in Mind is essential reading for practising and training psychoanalysts, for those in the psychotherapy profession, and for other professionals engaged with what climate breakdown in a culture of carelessness means today.
