Abstract

In this response to Zhiwa Woodbury's review of my book Radical Ecopsychology (2nd ed.), I clarify positions of mine that I believe Woodbury presents either inaccurately or inadequately. I do this by placing his comments and criticisms within the context of the issues I think they raise about the development of ecopsychology: the conflict between the inherent radicalism of ecopsychology and the historical conservatism of psychology; the need to develop critical distance from eco-destructive systems that need to be transformed or transcended; the challenge of preserving the truths that are essential to ecopsychology as we attempt to move from periphery to center; and the need to offer new images as part of the process of ecological social change. I comment throughout on the relevance of my argument that ecopsychology is inherently radical for making sense of the first-generation/second-generation ecopsychology crossroads.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
