Description
An unprecedented conceptual portrait of Freud as an ecological thinker, this book analyzes our current approaches to ecology and the environmental crisis through the lens of psychoanalysis. Conceived as a theoretical tool-kit, the alphabetically arranged entriesfrom Geo-psycho-analysis to Trauma extensions and from Fetishism and the Climate to Obsessive Self-Blamingguide the reader toward a deeper appreciation of the unconscious forces at work in our green dreams and nightmares.
Along the way, an intriguing image of psychic life emerges through a careful rereading of Freuds oeuvre, where the ego is eco, while minerals, animals, and plants are all given their due for the shaping of human existence.
