Ecopsychology: On Educating Ourselves as Ecopsychological Beings in a Psychological World—Dr. Lori Pye in conversation with Bonnie Bright, Ph.D.
The psychology of the individual is what is destroying the ecological world,” Dr. Lori Pye believes, noting that we are perhaps the only species that is homicidal, suicidal, and ecocidal, and that each of these is interrelated. However, there is absolutely opportunity to effect change in the world—to affect policies and practices and to change how humanity thinks about itself—but it starts with the individual.
Dr. Pye’s sense of opportunity is that we can all be educated on our sense of “who we are as an ecosystem or ecological organism living in a psychological world.” Pye holds a strong belief the heart and soul of humanity, in the human capacity for effecting change—but one needs a psychological education behind it in order to be effective.
