Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche (2013, published by New World Library) is Dr. Plotkin’s third book and a welcome addition to his growing contributions to ecopsychology, depth psychology, ecotherapy, and The Great Turning. Plotkin, who is on the editorial board of the journal Ecopsychology, is a former academic psychologist who studied abnormal states of consciousness and then left that world for private practice and to become a wilderness guide.
The goal in reviewing this work is threefold: (1) to offer a summary of this book, (2) to provide an analysis of its many strengths, and some limitations and cautionary notes where warranted, and (3) with my own personal account, to attempt to ‘‘ensoul’’ this book review.
Author of the review – Brian Stafford.
