Climate change: a psychoanalytic perspective – Rob Stuart
Climate change poses an unprecedented threat to human civilization, yet our collective response has been far from sufficient. In this discussion, Rob Stuart will delve into psychoanalytic theory, spanning from Freud to contemporary thinkers like Klein, Steiner, Britton, and Weintrobe. He contends that we must confront the role of the unconscious mind in shaping individual, group, and socio-political decisions, now more than ever.
Rob Stuart is a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and the British Psychoanalytic Council. He brings five years of experience as an Honorary Psychotherapist in an NHS setting in Westminster and has maintained a thriving private practice in Waltham Forest since 2014. With a diverse range of interests including philosophy, politics, science, and nature, Stuart brings a multidisciplinary perspective to the urgent conversation surrounding climate change.
