Touchstone Books, 1993. Very Good. Our culture is psychotic in its rift between the personal and the planetary , maintains Roszak ( The Making of a Counterculture ). Drawing freely on Ju ng, Freud and the Gaia hypothesis, the California State University historia n posits an "ecological unconscious" in each person, a living record of cos mic evolution capable of linking us synergistically to the natural environm ent. But this awareness has been repressed, he contends in a bold, ambitiou s philosophical essay. His sketchy outline of a new discipline and therapy, "ecopsychology," is built around a dense critique of tribal animism, syste ms theory, Teilhard de Chardin, humanistic psychology, ecofeminism and "dee p ecology," the mystical-feminist wing of environmentalism. The tools of Ro szak's therapy include communion with wilderness, nature mysticism and trad itional healing techniques, coupled with a sizing down of large cities, whi ch he condemns for their inhuman scale.
