Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Migration and Exile - Paperback

by Lesn Grinberg (Author), Rebeca Grinberg (Author), Leon Grinberg (Author)

In this book Drs. León and Rebeca Grinberg provide the first psychoanalytic study of both normal and pathological reactions to migration and to the special case of exile. Drawing on rich clinical material, on literature, and on myth, the Grinbergs discuss the relationship between migration and the language and age of the traveler; they consider its effects on the migrant's sense of identity; and they draw insightful analogies between the migratory experience and human development.
