Summary

Objective — To consider research conducted in the sub-field of mental health geography, concentrating on work published in English.Methods — The paper offers an comprehensive, in-depth and critical reading of the relevant literature on mental health geography since the inception of this subfield of inquiry in the early- 1970s.Results — The paper identifies three ‘waves’ of research within work on mental health geography. It describes these ‘waves’ in detail, interprets certain strengths and weaknesses of the first two ‘waves’, which are well-established, and provides suggestions about important questions to be addressed in a future third ‘wave’. Conclusion — Much excellent research has so far been undertaken within mental health geography, but there is scope to increase the relevance of this research through widening the focus of research and by being prepared to connect research more directly to mental health policy and politics.

Riassunto

Scopo — Valutare la ricerca condotta nel campo della geografia della salute mentale, concentrandosi sui lavori pubblicati in lingua inglese.Metodi — L'articolo offre una lettura globale, approfondita e critica della letteratura relativa alia geografia della salute mentale, a partire dal sorgere di questo settore di ricerca nei primi anni '70.Risultati — L'articolo identifica tre fasi di ricerca all'interno dei lavori sulla geografia della salute mentale. Queste fasi sono descritte in dettaglio; inoltre, sono interpretati punti di forza e di debolezza delle prime due fasi, che sono ben consolidate, e vengono forniti suggerimenti su importanti problemi che dovranno essere affrontati in una futura terza fase della ricerca.Conclusioni — Molte eccellenti ricerche sono state finora condotte nel campo della geografia della salute mentale, è tuttavia necessario aumentare la rilevanza di queste ricerche, mediante un ampliamento del focus ed un collegamento più diretto della ricerca con le politiche sulla salute mentale.
