Abstract
Recently, there has been a growing interest in the interaction between the urban milieu and the development of psychosis. While growing up in an urban environment constitutes a risk factor for developing psychosis, patients who develop a first episode of psychosis tend to avoid city centers and suffer from isolation. These observations have fostered emerging interest in ways of developing contexts in cities that are favorable to mental health and that may help service users in their paths to recovery. Building on work on place attachment as well as systemic therapy, we present a new approach to map the urban spaces experienced by service users. We propose two tools, the "place attachment diagram" and "life space network," to situate emotional bond and spatial dimension respectively at their center and help service users to map meaningful places in the city. We also suggest that different facets of the illness such as epidemiological risk factors (residential mobility, migration, urban living, trauma), early place attachment and abnormal space experience, may shape individual space and place experience in psychosis. Psychotherapeutic process with patients should aim at turning urban "spaces" into "places" characterized by a sense of familiarity, security and opportunity. Finally, we argue that the "spatial" is a forgotten dimension in psychotherapy and should be taken into account when treating individuals with psychosis.
