Description

This book explores the psychological response to migration and its impact on individuals and society. It delves into the emotional responses to change, including the idealization of new habitats and the devaluation of countries of origin.

The authors examine the life cycle as a framework for understanding migration, considering both internal and external migrations. They also address socio-cultural issues and develop Freudian theories to enhance our understanding of mental functioning in migrants.

By exploring the emotional vicissitudes of significant moves or geographical changes, this book sheds light on the sense of identity, psychic development, and creativity that are often affected by migration. It offers a deeper understanding of the mental processes involved and improves therapeutic possibilities for helping individuals, couples, families, and others.
