Description:
During this conference, four presenters (one biodiversity scientist and three psychoanalysts) will each present their perspective on the complexity of humans’ relations to the natural world and how these multifaceted relations contribute to and might mitigate today’s climate catastrophe.
Learning Objectives:
- Analyze how the natural world is both represented and unrepresented by clinicians and patients.
- Describe interpretive skills that allow for practitioners to engage patients regarding their relations to the natural world and to the climate catastrophe surrounding us all.
- Discuss the impoverishing effects of the common split that exists separating humans from the natural world.
