ABSTRACT

Terrapsychology has come a long way since its birth more than two decades ago. This introductory chapter to the book Terrapsychology: Further Inquiry into Self, Place and Planet outlines the field’s history. Terrapsychology started off by focusing on the inner/outer relationships between people and place. Keeping this inner/outer dialogue central, it has blossomed into diverse ways of knowing and being that is grounded in the understanding that everything converses. The chapter provides a historical overview of terrapsychology. It then outlines the various chapters that each showcase how Terrapsychological Inquiry is being practiced.
