Psychogeotherapy is a groundbreaking exploration of the profound roles played by concepts of space and containment in psychotherapy. By integrating approaches from psychogeography, particularly emphasizing the practice of 'aimless walking,' it offers alternative models of therapeutic space and introduces the concept of 'psychogeotherapy.' This insightful book provides a fresh and innovative perspective on therapeutic work and its relationship to space, drawing upon a diverse range of existing approaches, including Freudian, post-Freudian, Jungian, and post-Jungian perspectives. By incorporating perspectives from various disciplines such as art, social studies, cultural studies, and philosophy, the book critically interrogates the dominant models of containment in psychotherapy and explores these models from diverse angles to shed new light on classical concepts of therapeutic space and containment in depth psychology and psychotherapy. This book is of immense interest to academics, researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of analytical psychology, psychotherapy, psychogeography, and mental health.
