This book looks at the psychological experience of being an immigrant
and offers strategies to foster resilience, adaptation, and
well-being. At a time when over 250 million people live outside their
countries of origin, this book responds to a global need among
psychotherapists working with a growing, often distressed, immigrant
population by emphasizing cultural awareness, trauma sensitivity, and
cultural humility. This accessible and deeply empathetic guide
explores the emotional complexities of migration by drawing on decades
of clinical experience and the author’s own story of cultural
dislocation. It examines topics such as anxiety, cultural grief,
impostor syndrome and addresses the financial, systemic, linguistic
and legal struggles many immigrants face. It also empowers immigrants
to take an active role in their healing and growth, especially in
today’s political climate, where mental health funding and services
for immigrants are increasingly limited. With friendly and inclusive
guidance on how to work with problems experienced by immigrants, this
is an essential reading for psychoanalysts and therapists as well as
anyone who has experienced immigration or any type of cultural or
social dislocation.
