I recently read a very interesting article in “The American Journal of Psychiatry”
I wanted to share with you all:
The article examined our psychological processes that can be affected by geographic displacement. A combination of geography, psychology, anthropology, and psychiatry were amalgamated to produce "psychology of place"

The psychology of place is an emerging area of research that explores the connection between individuals and their intimate environments. The psychology of place signifies that individuals require a "good enough" environment in which to live. They are linked to that environment through three key psychological processes: attachment, familiarity, and identity.

Each of these psychological processes- attachment, familiarity, and place identity can be threatened by displacement, and the problems of nostalgia, disorientation, and alienation may ensue.
Thank you.

good video..kind of explains some of the pro athletes behavior..for instance Michael Vick used a lot of displacement in dealing with the fact he played for one of the most pathetic NFL teams
