Abstract

The material determining factors of mental stress and diseases are comparatively rarely reflected on and analysed in depth in psychotherapy research and by psychotherapists. This article should be seen as a plea to look at these factors in more detail. When this involves the question of the influence of risk factors of city lifestyle conditions on the mental health of its inhabitants, the urban environment"city" is the melting pot for a multitude of individual factors and factor constellations the influence of which must be theoretically conceptualized and empirically collated. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
