Reimagining Psychotherapy in an Era of Global Disruption and Climate Anxiety
Facilitators: Steffi Bednarek, Trudi Macagnino, Rebecca Nestor, Chris Robertson & Tree Staunton
This book launch will be a celebration of Climate, Psychology, and Change which reckons with the ways power, colonialism, capitalism and our innocent seeming familiar perceptions impact our myriad crises – while shaping Western psychology as we know it.
Editor and climate psychologist Steffi Bednarek co-created an anthology unlike anything you’ve read before: a necessary response, an urgent appeal, and a fearless look forward at how we care for ourselves and others, eyes wide open, with compassion and skill in an uncertain world.
