“…The idea that acculturation, as conceptually related to duration of residence in this study and generational status in earlier studies, 4 will lead to convergence with the patterns observed among the local population has been challenged by research on globalization and transnational networks. 17,18 The existence of such networks, and the fact that son-biased M:F ratios have worsened over time in India, 12 may help explain why son-biased M:F ratios have not diminished with time spent in Canada.…”

“…The importance of migrant constructions of a sense of place and a (in some cases, 'transnational' cross-cultural) sense of belonging is stressed throughout this literature (for example, Chakrabarti, 2010). This place making and re-territorialisation is noted as integral to the restoration and development of the health of migrants (Sampson and Gifford, 2010).…”

The term 'therapeutic landscapes' was first coined by health geographer, Wilbert Gesler, in 1992 to explore why certain environments seem to contribute to a healing sense of place. Since then, the concept and its applications have evolved and expanded as researchers have examined the dynamic material, affective and socio-cultural roots and routes to experiences of health and wellbeing in specific places. Drawing on a scoping review of studies of these wider therapeutic landscapes published between 2007 and 2016, this paper explores how, where, and to what benefit the 'therapeutic landscapes' concept has been applied to date, and how such applications have contributed to its critical evolution as a relevant and useful concept in health geography. Building on themes included in two earlier (1999, 2007) edited volumes on Therapeutic Landscapes, we summarise the key themes identified in the review, broadly in keeping with the core material, social, spiritual and symbolic dimensions of the concept initially posited by Gesler. Through this process, we identify strengths and limitations of the concept and its applications, as well as knowledge gaps and promising future directions for work in this field, reflecting critically on its value within health geography and its potential contribution to wider interdisciplinary discussions and debates around 'healthy' spaces, places, and related practices.

“…The home and community constitute therapeutic landscapes of emotional well-being and healing in the form of social support (English et al, 2008;Chakrabarti, 2010;Elmir et al, 2010). Social support played a major role in helping the women deal with their breast cancer (Junda, 2004).…”
