Showing himself to be a 'nomadic scholar' of the highest order Dodds both draws on relevant psychoanalytic ideas to explore the ecological terrain, and points out its limitations in remaining, in spite of all its advantages, fundamentally a psychology without ecology. - Martin Jordan, From the Foreword Once in a while, a book enters the field of psychoanalysis that is so revolutionary that it turns everything upside down, causing us to question the very framework under which we operate. - Terry Marks-Tarlow, International Journal of Psychoanalytic Self-Psychology A tour de force of ecological, psychoanalytic and poststructural thought... essential reading for any scholar of ecopsychology who wishes to extend his or her thinking into new lines of flight and take some risks along the way. - Renee Lertzman, Ecopsychology Psychoanalysis and ecology at the edge of chaos makes a significant contribution to current discussions around the ecological crisis by suggesting that psychoanalysis offers important insights in the problem of climate change and its effects... This is a very useful and interesting book, carefully researched, well organized and clearly written, a very good case of truly interdisciplinary scholarship. - Maria Tamboukou, Psychology in Society Occasionally a book is produced which meets the entirety of the mission of this journal... the known but little discussed nexus between psychology, the life sciences, and nonlinear dynamics... Mature students in fields ranging from psychology to ecology to complexity sciences will find this book of value. - Douglas Kiel, Nonlinear Dynamics, Psychology, and Life Sciences ...a seminal book that introduces a new area of focus that should be read by any psychoanalyst interested in preserving the world for their children and grandchildren. - Terry Marks-Tarlow, International Journal of Psychoanalytic Self-Psychology
