Ecopsychology....

Tried looking on google but can anyone explain to me what a degree in Psychology with Emphasis on Ecopsychology means? My niece just got her degree in this. I think I have an idea what it means but I would appreciate some other thoughts......

 

She is an expert at how the people think in business. Just a guess. Eco=economy.

 

Its got something to do with looking at more natural ways of treating disorders like ADD in kids, for example, besides just prescribed drugs. That is about all I can get from google.....

 

maybe how changing your enviroment ?..........not sure

 

Ecopsychology, or eco-psychology as it is sometimes called, is situated at the intersection of a number of fields of enquiry, including environmental philosophy, psychology, and ecology, but is not limited by any disciplinary boundaries. At its core, ecopsychology suggests that there is a synergistic relation between planetary and personal well being; that the needs of the one are relevant to the other.

From what I figured out so far..........its like Hippie Psychology. You're nuts....go hug a tree and plant some flowers and you'll feel better.
