Welcome to my website. I’m Allen Kanner, a psychologist, writer and activist. My non-clinical work, which is gathered here, focuses on the intersection of psychology with politics and ecology. It includes ecopsychology, alternatives to capitalism and health psychology. Informing all of the above, I had the good fortune of being a young person in the Bay Area during the late ’60s.

The website is organized in sections, primarily by topics. However, books and documentaries are each in their own section. Topics include ecopsychology; capitalism and its alternatives; creating a commercial-free childhood; psychological androgyny and creativity; and stress, positive experiences and health.

 I retired from clinical work in February, 2026.
