| | Place and Space in Psychology, Medicine and HealthcareThere are literally thousands of entries and hundreds of courses in the sub-area of psychology called environmental psychology. Many of these deal with issues of place and space. I will not attempt to include everything, but I will include important work and portal sites. As always, I appreciate finding out about good resources from people who work in the field.
