Therapeutic landscapes are an analytical framework for examining the process of creating health and wellbeing in places. It consists of three components: physical environments, social environments, and symbolic environments. Its origins lie in reforms in the 1980s and 1990s in cultural geography and medical geography as well as in medical anthropology. Theoretically, it is informed by ideas from cultural ecology, structuralism, and humanism. The concept has been widely used in health geography and other social sciences of health to study specific sites such as parks, marginalized populations such as the mentally ill, health care facilities such as hospitals, and imaginary geographies found in art and literature
