Refugees are at great risk of developing mental health problems. Yet, little is known about how to optimally help this vulnerable group as there is a lack of evaluated refugee mental health interventions. The current article presents the results of a literature review which investigates the importance of place attachment for the promotion of refugees' well-being in the resettlement process. This review concentrated on the most recent and current literature regarding the potential role, importance, and relevance of people-place bonds in the dynamic process of refugee resettlement. It examines literature from the field of positive and environmental psychology, highlighting key theoretical concepts and research findings as well as gaps in research. The review revealed that little is known about the dynamics of place bonding, while the debate rages on about the geometry of the psychological constructs of person-place relationships. Yet, knowing more about which needs should be satisfied for easing place bonding could be of crucial importance for facilitating refugee well-being. Ultimately, improving the knowledge and understanding of the phases of this dynamic process could be useful for a more successful implementation of refugee resettlement practices and activities.
难民极易出现心理健康问题。然而，由于缺乏经过评估的难民心理健康干预措施，对于如何以最佳方式帮助这一弱势群体，人们知之甚少。本文介绍了一项文献综述的结果，该综述调查了场所依恋对于促进难民重新安置过程中的幸福感的重要性。这项综述聚焦于关于人与场所关系在难民重新安置动态过程中的潜在作用、重要性和相关性的最新及当前文献。它审视了积极心理学和环境心理学领域的文献，突出了关键的理论概念、研究发现以及研究空白。该综述表明，人们对场所依恋的动态过程了解甚少，而关于人与场所关系心理建构的几何形状的争论仍在激烈进行。然而，更多地了解满足哪些需求有助于缓解场所依恋，对于促进难民的幸福感可能至关重要。最终，增进对这一动态过程各阶段的认识和理解，可能有助于更成功地实施难民重新安置实践和活动。
