Therapeutic Landscapes

Abstract

The concept of therapeutic landscape is recognized as one of the key contributions that geographers have made to the study of health. It is an essentially metaphorical concept that continues to evolve, with innovative applications, to better understand the characteristics of place that contribute to the processes at play in the making of healing places and symbolic landscapes, and in the marketing of such places.
