Theodore Roszak was one of the first to develop the term “ecopsychology†and  write about it. His work emphasizes the implications of our disconnection from nature for mental health. In his writings he emphasizes the integration of psychology and ecology; the bringing together of psychological principles and practices to environmental education and action. Psychotherapy and personal growth can be shown to benefit from the contributions of ecological thinking and the values of the natural world. Lifestyles can be followed that are both ecologically and psychologically healthy.
