“…Almost half of emotion-focused interventions focused specifically on illuminating and supporting clients’ grief processes inherent to engaging with their eco-anxiety. Baker [ 35 ] refers to the need for practitioners to help clients “develop the capacity to move into what (Melanie) Klein termed “the depressive position”, where we are able to experience mourning and loss without recourse to splitting, denial, dissociation or other manic defences” (p. 59). Clients could also be encouraged to relate to their eco-anxiety as a form of anticipatory loss [ 32 ].…”

As climate change worsens and public awareness of its grave impact increases, individuals are increasingly experiencing distressing mental health symptoms which are often grouped under the umbrella term of eco-anxiety. Clear guidance is needed to enable mental health professionals to make informed choices of appropriate interventions and approaches in their eco-anxiety treatment plans. A scoping review was conducted to examine the current understanding of eco-anxiety and related intervention options and recommendations. The review included 34 records, 13 of which reflected specific psychological approaches. A thematic analysis of the content of the selected records yielded five major themes across interventions for individual and group treatment of eco-anxiety: practitioners’ inner work and education, fostering clients’ inner resilience, encouraging clients to take action, helping clients find social connection and emotional support by joining groups, and connecting clients with nature. Recommendations for treatment plans are to focus on holistic, multi-pronged, and grief-informed approaches that include eco-anxiety focused group work.

“…Ambivalence emerged as a relationship with nature that was inherently contradictory where humans were seen as from nature, but at the same time superior and separate (Hoggett, 2020). Ambivalence was also expressed through binary antagonism (Baker, 2013) which is that the earth is experienced as generous yet vindictive. This relationship with nature was expressed by the view that humans were both part of and yet isolated from nature while perceiving the ‘otherness’ of nature (Pointon, 2014).…”

Using a Deductive Approach to Develop a Picture Elicitation Technique to Explore the Human-Nature Nexus

The field of ecopsychology focuses on the affective relationship between individuals and nature that is based on the premise that what individuals love and care for, they will protect. There is however a methodological gap within the field of ecopsychology that relates to the qualitative exploration of the human-nature nexus. Elicitation techniques are a popular method used for exploring subconscious processes or to engage participants in a subject that might seem abstract such as affect towards nature. Currently, there exists no methodological guideline on how to develop a picture elicitation technique to explore the human-nature nexus and there is no technique to assist with this exploration. This article describes the methodology used to develop the Nature Nexus Elicitation Technique to enable the tacit exploration of the affective relationship that individuals have with nature. Six phases of the elicitation technique development are explained. The phases included a Systematic Literature Review, parallel study conducted online ( N = 43), emergent category validation, technique visual development, feasibility testing ( N = 5), and technique use ( N = 44). The results show the technique development processes as well as the output which is a range of cards that cover human-nature expressions that include intimacy, empathy, engagement, ambivalence, apathy, and alienation.
