AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'At the 2003 Ecohealth Conference in Montreal, Australian scholar Glenn Albrecht introduced the term ‘solastalgia’ to refer to a particular form of psychological distress, one that is environmentally induced. Expanding upon the concept in 2007, Albrecht and colleagues defined solastalgia as being the painful “lived experience of the physical desolation of home” (96), and it is thus, as they note, a psychoterratic illness, one in which the psyche suffers due to its relationship with the earth.'
