Offering a significant and much-needed update to Rogerian theory and practice, this groundbreaking work delves into the relevance of certain approaches to counseling and psychotherapy, particularly in the context of the current global crisis. Drawing upon insights from cultural studies and ecopsychology, the authors challenge prevailing notions and offer fresh perspectives that redefine the field.

In response to the growing concerns among therapists regarding the climate crisis, Bernie Neville and Keith Tudor have authored a book that aims to provide valuable guidance for practitioners. This book, based on the authors' previous works and incorporating fresh material, presents and explores ideas that have been largely overlooked in the realm of person-centered literature. It reimagines person-centered psychology (PCP) from its traditional focus on individuals to a broader perspective encompassing life and the living world. Furthermore, the book adopts a philosophical and cultural lens to re-present and re-vision PCP as a "we" psychology, an eco-psychology, and an eco-therapy.

This book holds immense interest for professionals working in the fields of person-centered therapy, ecopsychology, and ecotherapy, as well as those involved in the education, training, and supervision of counselors and psychotherapists. It offers valuable insights and practical tools that can enhance their understanding and practice, enabling them to address the pressing challenges of our time with greater empathy and effectiveness.
