About this book

This compelling and insightful textbook demonstrates how eight major approaches in psychology - social, psychoanalytical, behavioral, cognitive, physiological, health, developmental and holistic - can be applied to create a more sustainable society.

After outlining current environmental difficulties and historical antecedents, these various perspectives offer guidance for changing individual and collective behavior.

This 3rd edition is thoroughly revised and updated throughout, and features new chapters on the neuropsychology of toxic exposures, health and the psychology of environmental stress, and developmental psychology. It offers a comprehensive review of literature in various subdisciplines, demonstrating the wide applicability and relevance of psychology for addressing imminent environmental threats.
