Aprašymas

How should psychology renew in the face of global ecological crises and help reimagining the role of humankind in the planetary ecosystem? This handbook provides a critical overview of environmental and sustainability psychology in a new perspective appreciating the diversity of cultural traditions and disciplines. It examines the key challenges confronting this area of study and the problematic dimensions of human environmental action. Covering existing theories and methodologies, the chapters highlight the field's theoretical range, its geographical and cultural diversity, and its inherently multidisciplinary character. Together, they illuminate how specific sub-topics shape contemporary discourse on environmental issues and the human-environment relationship. The volume also outlines future research directions for study, advocating a paradigm shift from egocentric to eco-centric psychology and encouraging deeper reflection on the human psyche's place within global ecological systems. This comprehensive resource is essential reading for all scholars engaged in environmental and climate psychology.
