Note: The following bibliography lists sources we have found most helpful. We have taken a broad definition of ecopsychology here, with much overlap with environmental psychology, deep ecology, ecophilosophy, straight ecology and psychology, and other related fields. It is by no means a complete list of ecopsychology references. We welcome your comments and/or suggestions for additions.
