Ecopsychology is a growing field in modern psychology that explores the relationship between human beings and the natural environment. This branch of psychology suggests that mental health is closely tied to one's connection with nature and that environmental issues can affect psychological well-being. Ecotherapy, a related practice, uses nature-based interventions like wilderness therapy, gardening, and https://www.modernpsych.ca/ outdoor activities to promote emotional healing. As climate change and environmental degradation become pressing concerns, ecopsychology offers a unique perspective on fostering a healthier mind-body-earth connection.
The course will provide an overview of refractory microstructures through the use of microscopy and X-ray diffraction doodle jump characterisation methods.
