"This marvelous book takes us to the beach, the cathedral, the kitchen, the street, all the while chatting about the ways in which these places shape and heal us. Ezra Griffith, the distinguished psychiatrist, is, in these pages, a best friend from childhood, a confidant and confider. You will love this book for its insights and enjoy it for its friendliness! A treasure!"-Mindy Thompson Fullilove, MD, Hon AIA, Author of Urban Alchemy: Restoring Joy in America’s Sorted-Out Cities"Belonging, Therapeutic Landscapes and Networks is an exceptional work on a subject not often deliberated in psychiatry. Dr. Griffith extensively discusses belonging in the major areas of our lives and illustrates how important it is through storytelling, case presentations and self-exploration. He is an outstanding writer who engages the reader and is a skilled and seasoned clinician who presents and examines the clinical implications." -Billy E. Jones, MD, MS, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry New York University"Dr. Griffith takes us through mental, physical, and spiritual landscapes with their architectures and inhabitants uprooted, alienated, seeking to belong, and sometimes achieving it. The stories he tells and interprets -- from people who are street homeless to those with mental illness in forensic hospitals to those not-belonging, riding undercurrents of race-ethnicity -- are unforgettable. The world just got larger, and it’s the same shape-shifting landscape we’ve always lived in."-Michael Rowe, PhD, Yale School of Medicine
