Taking into consideration that the psychophysical balance of the individual is in close relationship with the collective-environmental balance, thus the topic of the environment and climate change has a strong impact on our patients and on the cultural context in which the therapies take place. Susan Bodnar’s paper is an important contribution to assuming an active role as mental health professionals facing the impact of the climate crisis in the clinical encounter. She proposes using object relations theory to develop an ecotherapy that makes use of context, integrating environmental factors into psychological well-being through therapeutic action. As Ecotherapy makes use of contexts, I suggest it could be well supported by field theory
