Climate change-related concerns in psychotherapy: therapists' experiences and views on addressing this topic in therapy.
Katharina TrostVerena ErtlJulia KönigRita RosnerHannah ComtessePublished in: BMC psychology (2024)
Results indicate that psychotherapists are frequently confronted with climate change-related concerns and regard the mental health impact of climate change on their patients as meaningful to psychotherapeutic care. Regular care could be improved by a continuous refinement of the conceptualization and knowledge of the mental health influences of climate change. This would allow providing tailored methods of assessing and addressing climate change-related concerns in practice.
