ABSTRACT
Health psychologists in the United States pursued their professional interests and work in the entrepreneurial, individual-focus fashion consonant with the dominant American capitalist culture. In the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Global North generally, and much of Europe, health psychology developed somewhat more slowly and tended to situate theory and practice in the terms of the more inclusive social contract that cast health as a social good. As a result, health psychology developed alternatives that include critical health, community health, and public health psychologies. Future health psychologies must take into account the multiple impacts of climate change and the potential reordering of global societies. To do so successfully, psychology and its publics must reorient to a close connection with the earth that will engender practices suitable for a changed world.
