'Wild Therapy' is a way of naming the intersection point of several trends in psychotherapy and counselling. Most crucially, it is a response to how human connectedness to all the beings with whom we share this universe, has been largely severed. Why does therapy not address this condition in which most human activity now takes place?

Collected together for the first time, articles and chapters from the archive of Nick Totton. Discussing the politics of psychotherapy, his themes include democracy, equality, professionalization and regulation, pluralism, boundaries and ecopsychology. A collection that will make you think.

This book celebrates wildness, both in global ecosystems and in the human psyche. Drawing on psychotherapy, philosophy, ecology, anthropology, futuristic fiction and much other literature, he shows the links between domesticated civilisation and the destruction of the innate balance of ecosystems.

A revolution is underway in how we think about human variation. It has the potential to transform the society and politics. Psychotherapy should be in the vanguard of this revolution. In this book, Totton aims to challenge and also help the reader, be they talking therapist, body therapist, client or anyone, to interrogate their own 'normality'.
