This book forms an introduction to the emerging discipline of
"psychology of migration", which is an interdisciplinary field of
reflection and research, joining together diverse subfields of
psychology with anthropological, sociological, demographic and
historical inquiry on migration processes. The introductory chapter
marks the borders of this borderline discipline, defines important
notions and the subject of inquiry, and presents its main research
themes together with prospective paths for the discipline's
development. The second chapter presents research methods applied
in psychology of migration. Acculturation processes and their
psychological analysis as well an impact on the mental health of
migrants are the main topics of interest in the third chapter. The
last chapter covers issues of mutual relations between religion and
migration. Conclusive remarks on contemporary psychology of
migration facing cultural and religious diversity in COVID-19
pandemic times are outlined, pointing at challenges the discipline
will surely meet in the future.
