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.
