About this ebook
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 entries-from “Geo-psycho-analysis” to “Trauma extensions” and from “Fetishism and the Climate” to “Obsessive Self-Blaming”-guide 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 Freud's oeuvre, where the ego is “eco”, while minerals, animals, and plants are all given their due for the shaping of human existence.
