Ecopsychology


eISSN: 19429347 | ISSN: 19429347
This peer-reviewed journal places psychology and mental health in an ecological context to recognize the links between human health, culture, and the health of the planet. The journal seeks to reshape modern psychology by showing that it cannot stand apart from an intimate human connection with the natural environment. We need that connection with nature to do well mentally and physically, let alone to flourish, as individuals and as a species. Against this backdrop, the journal publishes original scientific research articles, as well as theoretical papers, case studies, nature writing, and reviews of important books and other media.
