Abstract |
Intervention in issues related to climate change is becoming a defined area of practice for clinical psychologists, with general competencies and a potential for specialization. Our chapter is a collaboration among several psychologists engaged in climate and environment-related research and practice. We synthesize findings and practices from climate science, environmental psychology, environmental justice, psychotherapy, health psychology, and international perspectives. The field of clinical psychology is primed to respond to the climate crisis by creatively applying knowledge of mental health and functioning and the delivery of just, culturally appropriate, and empirically supported treatments and therapies. |
