NY Times story that prominently featured ANE grad Thomas Doherty
Posted on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
From the New York Times:
Yet all the attention paid to the behavioral and cognitive barriers to safeguarding the environment – topics of acute interest to policy makers and activists – disguised the fact that a significant portion of the document addressed the supposed emotional costs of ecological decline: anxiety, despair, numbness, “a sense of being overwhelmed or powerless,” grief. It also disguised the unusual background of the eighth member of the task force, Thomas Doherty, a clinical psychologist in Portland, Ore. Doherty runs a private therapeutic practice called Sustainable Self and is the most prominent American advocate of a growing discipline known as “ecopsychology.”
