Abstract
It is becoming clearer that, as Evernden puts it, ‘we are not in an environmental crisis, but are the environmental crisis’ (1985, p.125). One might expect a field such as psychology to be playing an essential part in helping to understand and change these detrimental patterns, however, some argue that so far, its impact has been limited (e.g. Kidner, 1994). This paper contends that counselling psychology may be particularly well placed to help deal with this destructive relationship even though mainstream psychotherapeutic thought has traditionally ignored this dimension, seeing the environment as simply a backdrop onto which the more important human interactions play out (Swanson, 1995).
