David Abram (b 1957)

His Radical Ecopsychology calls us toward active engagement in a transformation of society no less profound than the transformation of personal life that he invokes, and makes clear that these two projects cannot genuinely be separated.

Both political and deeply personal, stirring us both ethically and aesthetically, Andy Fisher’s vision enlivens the young field of ecopsychology. With any luck, his book will infect the wider (and all-too-complacent) discipline of psychology, inducing more than a few therapists to throw open the windows of their consulting room, letting a wild wind rush in to jostle their papers and to join in the conversation. — David Abram (Foreword, in Radical Ecopsychology: Psychology in the Service of Life, Andy Fisher, 2002, p. xi) (2 ed, 2012, kindle 2020-5-28)
