Über Autor(innen)

Paul Rhodes has published three books and over 200 hundred research papers in clinical and cultural psychology. His career has spanned many areas over 30 years, including family therapy, anorexia nervosa, pedagogy, community psychology and ecopsychology, cultural psychology, research about place, research using psychogeography and art-based research. He has worked as a pioneer in psychology, breaking the bounds of what is traditionally thought of as research and entering into a post-disciplinary position. His work is typically inter-disciplinary, or post-disciplinary, drawing on cultural and clinical psychology but also a wide range of other disciplines including fine arts, philosophy, climate theory, narratology, ethnography and others.
