Synopsis

This book contains dynamic perspectives on global challenges such as ecological destruction, climate issues, failed leadership, and limiting beliefs, while turning to imagination, dreams, symbol, metaphor, and mythology to help us gain a broader understanding of how we each fit into the fabric of the whole.If you care about the planet and your part in it, don’t miss this important series of interviews with leading scholars, educators, depth psychologists, and scientists who each bring critical information on how to respond to the growing crisis through connection with soul.Contributors include Jungian analyst Jerome Bernstein; climate scientist and Jungian, Jeffrey Kiehl; Jungian scholar, Susan Rowland; Depth educator/author Robert Romanyshyn; Depth educator Veronica Goodchild; plus other scholars, educators, or Jungian analysts including Steve Aizenstat, Sally Gillespie, Susannah Benson, Nancy Furlotti, Michael Conforti —co-edited by Bonnie Bright and Jonathan Paul Marshall.REVIEWSDepth psychologist Bonnie Bright and her colleagues help us understand that climate change is not just an environmental, economic, social or security challenge—although it is all of these—but a deeply psychological crisis that demands "a new psychological position and understanding." A must-read for anyone wanting to better understand why we're in our current mess and how to get out of it!—Linda Buzzell, Co-Editor, Ecotherapy: Healing with Nature in MindThese interviews are, at one level, a fine tribute to Jung’s vision that the human psyche cannot be considered in isolation from the wider forces that govern life on Earth. But Bonnie Bright’s collection of dialogues also has a far more urgent relevance: the Anthropocene has now been unleashed and it remains an open question whether we can act in time to maintain a habitable planet. The answer will lie in a myriad of policy and behavioural decisions and underlying them all is the need for humankind to transform its notions of self-interest in the light of Earth consciousness. The interviews in this book are both signposts and beacons in that all-important journey.—Adrian Tait, Co-Founder, Climate Psychology Alliance Dreams open a portal to another way of seeing the world, offering access to the personal and collective unconscious. Dreams encourage the imagination to flourish. Sometimes, dreams can offer another way to approach seemingly insoluble problems. So this anthology arrives at the perfect moment, offering insights and inspiration in this time of climate chaos and global crisis, with contributions from leading thinkers in the field of depth psychology, science and education.—Mary-Jayne Rust, Co-Editor, Vital Signs: Psychological Responses to Ecological Crisis“This work provides a unique perspective on the issue of climate disruption. Science has provided us with all the evidence necessary for immediate action, yet too little is being done too slowly to address this global threat. As Jung noted, in such times of deep disarray, perhaps we should ask the unconscious what to do. The dialogues in this work do just that. Here we are given an opportunity to listen to psyche’s concerns about our planet.”—Jeffrey T. Kiehl.
