Online: Book Launch - Holding the Hope: reviving psychological and spiritual agency in the face of climate change

You are warmly invited to the launch of

Holding the Hope: reviving psychological and spiritual agency in the face of climate change

Edited by Linda Aspey, Catherine Jackson and Diane Parker and published by PCCS Books

Catastrophic climate change, the destruction of our ecosystem and accelerated species extinction hang over us all. How can coaches, counsellors, psychologists and psychotherapists hold their own fears, let alone those of their clients?

In Holding the Hope, contributors from a range of cultural backgrounds and professional disciplines – coaches, counsellors, psychologists and psychotherapists – discuss our inter-relationships with the natural world, indigenous practices and understandings, our betrayal of our children and young people, maintaining a sense of meaning and agency and, above all, how to go on practising at the edge of despair.

To launch the book, contributors will be coming together to make short presentations about their chapters, followed by an opportunity for participants to talk in more depth in small-group ‘meet the author’ workshops.

Contributors at the launch: Roger Duncan, Niki Harré, Robin Shohet, Hetty Einzig, Nick Totton, Caroline Frizell, Chris Johnstone, Maggie Turp, Pedro Oliveira, Matthew Painton, Yasmin Kapadia, Fred Ehresmann, Caroline Hickman, Jo McAndrews, Andy Miller.
