A map as a research tool, being the domain within/of environmental psychology, cognitive geography of the city, cognitive science, human geography, is also a conglomerate of evaluation and/or a source of patterns of perceiving the city within the examined communities, so valuable for a sociologist. The eclectic fusion of geography and sociology is the starting point for the reflection on C. H. Coombs's theory of data, as well as R. N. Shepard's multidimensional analysis techniques, in the context of statistical and visual presentation methods for producing preference charts geared towards urban space. The basic task of this text is the explanation of inconsistencies, similarities, and mutual exclusiveness among the various types of maps within the realm of social sciences (social, sketch, mental, imaginative, evaluative, etc.) to achieve the aim of creating the possibility of further exploration of the issue of universal patterns of experiencing/using/feeling the city. The article is also an 'open' presentation (brought up for discussion, criticism and transformations) of the topic concerning 'new city maps', which are an attempt to make a step forward on the way towards an integral theory of the phenomenon of the city.

Some data reported in the family therapeutical literature suggest the positive role of home visits, but they are rarely used in everyday practice. In the authors' family therapeutical work visits in the homes of eating disordered patients have become a routine part of the therapeutical process. The paper discusses the experiences of home visits presenting eight case vignettes. The visits were performed once in each case in the middle phase of the therapy. The observation of personal boundaries on the basis of environmental psychology and structural family therapy provided important insights for understanding the family dynamics (e. g. open or missing doors, enmeshed sleeping habits, missing father during the visit, etc.) The advantages of visits are many: therapists can gather first hand information about the family members' privacy and personal boundaries - such information is useful in planning the therapeutical interventions. At the same time the visit is a good opportunity to introduce 'in vivo' structural tasks. The visit can also serve as a tool for strengthening the psychotherapeutic relationship, while as a consequence of entering into personal places and sharing the family atmosphere the traditional doctor role changes; therapists become 'participant observers' as in cultural anthropology. The authors visits corroborated former observations that eating disorders are paradigmatic psychosomatic disorders with characteristic structural changes in the families.

The basic concept of environment is associated with various constructs and interpretations in psychology. However, these constructs and interpretations do not conclude in a coherent, theoretical system. In this theoretical paper the authoresses aim at a general analysis of the concept of environment, and the outlines of a synthesis, based on an ecological system view. As theoretical roots they review the concept of Umwelt by Jakov von Uexkull (1938), the transactionalism of Dewey and Bentley (1949), and some of the major representatives of ecological psychology in the history of psychology. They analyse the conceptual system of environmental psychology, and conclude by finding answers to the questions: what is environment and why it is important for psychology.

There is a consensus in the literature of crisis that bereavement is one of the most forceful factors that provokes crisis. This is especially important if we extend psychoanalytical object loss theory beyond the loss of a significant person. Fried (1963) has shown in his psychodynamic theory that leaving an important place causes a break in self-continuity. This paper presents two studies in which the authors have examined changes in attachment to the place of birth and phases of coping with loss due to migration. The data were collected in Szeged with two groups of respondents. The first group consisted of in-border native Hungarian migrants who have changed their place of residence within Hungary to pursue studies in higher education, while the second group consisted of cross-border migrants, also university students, who have changed countries as well. A qualitative method has been developed based on a projective questionnaire and a qualitative content analysis. In consistence with Fried's theory the authors have found that respondents expressed feelings of loss due to migration in their narratives. The experience of loss was much stronger among cross-border migrants than among in-border migrants. This difference suggests the importance of the practical and symbolic meaning of the border.

The physical environment people work in is psychologically significant to them. The work environment affects their performance and well-being both directly and indirectly. In this paper the authoresses argue that the person-environment fit theory by Proshansky, Ittelson, Rivlin (1970), the privacy concept by Altman (1975), and the place theory by Canter1977), taken together, can be used for integrating our knowledge about workplaces. Also, Proshansky's place-identity theory (1978) should be taken into account for a complete environmental psychological interpretation of people's relationship to their workplaces, since familiar, safe and controlled places assure feelings of competence and autonomy for their users. Assuming that the workplace is a primary territory, it is plausible that place attachment develops there inevitably. As a consequence of place usage, privacy regulation and other factors, the workplace becomes an essential part of the person's place identity. To understand this process thoroughly, all the processes involved in the transaction and their interconnections should be examined. In this study the authoresses consider the office as a work place in depth and outline our transactional environmental psychological approach as a theoretical background.

Research so far and hypotheses about psychological aspects of perception suggest that attitudes towards objects can be affected by individual traits, especially temperament. In this article the authors attempt to discuss whether attitudes towards architectural an object could be conditioned individually, at the level of temperamental differences. The authors reveal empirical findings on the relation of temperament to attitudes towards architectural structures featured in various shapes, colors and forms. The study included 389 persons. The fundamental issue was addressed using 3D architectural models (with variable controlled formal features) and the author`s Questionnaire on Attitudes to Architectural Objects. The obtained results are unambiguous: Temperament varies the attitude, but not unconditionally. Significant variation of attitudes due to temperament seems to affect architectural objects only with specific layouts of formal features. Nevertheless, the presented results can be treated as a premise for further research in this field of study.
