Abstract

We present a reflection on the contributions of geographic analysis and mobile phones for psychosocial therapies and on the questions that should be asked future research. The production of georeferenced data through mobile phones on people's daily lives opens great possibilities for cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoanalysis and mental health. It allows elaborating maps of moods that locate places of stress in the daily life of a person; the mapping of emotions, the cognitive mapping of places and our feelings.
