Wild Therapy (second edition) : Rewilding our inner and outer worlds (2 Revised edition)

In today's Western, industrialised society, 'wild' has come to mean dangerous, savage, crazy, out of control.

This book celebrates wildness, both in global ecosystems and in the human psyche.

Totton argues that embracing unpredictability and boundlessness is vital for our wellbeing and, in these times of environmental crisis, for the survival of humans and other-than-humans.

Drawing on psychotherapy, philosophy, ecology, anthropology, futuristic fiction and much other literature, he shows the links between domesticated civilisation and the destruction of the innate balance of ecosystems - including human relationships and psyches.

This second edition builds on the first to suggest what a wild civilisation might be like, and how psychotherapy could help create it.
