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.
