An unprecedented conceptual portrait of Freud as an ecological thinker, this book analyzes our current approaches to ecology and the environmental crisis through the lens of psychoanalysis. Conceived as a theoretical tool-kit, the alphabetically arranged entries-from ?Geo-psycho-analysis? to ?Trauma extensions? and from ?Fetishism and the Climate? to ?Obsessive Self-Blaming?-guide the reader toward a deeper appreciation of the unconscious forces at work in our green dreams and nightmares. Along the way, an intriguing image of psychic life emerges through a careful rereading of Freud's oeuvre, where the ego is ?eco?, while minerals, animals, and plants are all given their due for the shaping of human existence.
