| has gloss | eng: Ecopsychology connects psychology and ecology. The political and practical implications are to show humans ways of healing alienation and to build a sane society and a sustainable culture. Theodore Roszak is credited with coining the term in his 1992 book, The Voice of the Earth. This was a call for the development of a field in which psychology would go out of the built environment to examine why people continue to behave in "crazy" ways that damage the environment, and the environmental movement would find new ways to motivate people to action, ways more positive than protest. Roszak expanded the idea in the 1995 anthology Ecopsychology, which he co-edited with Mary Gomes and Allen Kanner. This book, with articles by each of the editors and many others who would become prominent voices in the field, is still considered by many to be an excellent primer on ecopsychology. As mentioned by Roszak, there are a variety of other names used to describe this field: psychoecology, ecotherapy, environmental psychology, green psychology, global therapy, green therapy, Earth-centered therapy, reearthing, nature-based psychotherapy, shamanic counselling, sylvan therapy. |

| has gloss | fin: Ekopsykologian lähtökohtana on, että ihminen on osa luontoa ja että ihmisen ja luonnon hyvinvointi – tai pahoinvointi – kulkevat käsi kädessä . Ekopsykologian projektissa psykologia ja ekologia ovat tasavahvasti mukana. Käytännön päämääränä on löytää tapoja ehkäistä ja hoitaa vieraantumista ja auttaa rakentamaan kestävän kehityksen mukaista elämäntapaa yksilön ja yhteisöjen tasoilla. Ekopsykologian historian keskushahmo on Theodore Roszak. |
