The downsizing of psychiatric hospitals has created a new institutional landscape in the local community to support people with severe mental problems in their daily living. This study explores meeting places in Norway from the users' perspectives. The users used four metaphors to describe these meeting places: "like a home", "like a family", "like a landing ground" and "like a trampoline". The users have decorated the interiors of the meeting places with hearts made from various materials, and these could be considered as symbols of the places. The metaphors used: the hearts and the rooms and interiors, reflect old ideas about calmness and dignity rather than new ideas based on New Public Management.
精神病医院规模的缩减在当地社区创造了一种新的机构格局，以支持有严重精神问题的人日常生活。本研究从用户角度探索挪威的聚会场所。用户用四个隐喻来描述这些聚会场所：“像家一样”“像家人一样”“像着陆点一样”和“像蹦床一样”。用户用各种材料制作的心形装饰了聚会场所的内部，这些心形可被视为这些场所的象征。所使用的隐喻：心形以及房间和内部装饰，反映的是关于平静和尊严的旧观念，而非基于新公共管理的新观念。
