Ecofacilitation is a new approach to psychotherapy, formulated by Ukrainian psychologist Pavel Lushyn in his book “Personal Transitions as a Process: Theory and Practice” published in 2002 and over a hundred other articles. Eco-psychological facilitation (ecofacilitation) is the process of regulating individual as an open and dynamic system in order to preserve the state of self-development. Ecofacilition grew out of Rogerian facilitation, yet fundamentally different in mechanisms of regulation.
