The myriad of relationships we have with landscape and the creatures that inhabit it forms a wholeness of which we are part. These places impress themselves upon us, as we, in turn, impress ourselves upon them, taking meaning from one another, in a call and response of reciprocal exchange. If we consider our more-than-human environment as something that actively shapes and transforms our psyche, we must grapple with our understanding of its subjectivity, its agency, and its history within psychoanalysis. During this moment of devastating breakdown of the earth’s climate, it seems crucial that we pay attention to these relationships. In this paper, I will examine Freud’s case of the “Wolf-Man,” illustrating the ways Freud imagined the wolf as a manifestation of “guilty man’s” Oedipal conflicts. I will then discuss two clinical vignettes to illustrate a rethinking of the ways we listen for our relationship to “nature” by using the framework of Kohut’s formulation of “tragic man”.
