Moving from one country to another causes a radical alteration of
one's cultural and geophysical surround. Separation from friends
and family, loss of valued possessions, and encountering new ways
of living result in mental pain and disorienting anxieties. In
Immigration and Acculturation, Salman Akhtar examines the traumatic
impact of immigration and the acculturation process and the
psychological defenses that are mobilized in the immigrant,
including nostalgia and fantasies of return. Akhtar explores each
aspect of an immigrant's life, shedding light on the complexities
of work, friendship, sex, marriage, aging, religion, and politics,
as well as showing how unresolved conflicts are passed on to the
next generation. Akhtar provides first-hand accounts from
immigrants from a variety of backgrounds and countries of origin,
and he provides clinical strategies for working with immigrant and
ethnically diverse patients and their offspring. Deftly
synthesizing observations from psychoanalysis, anthropology,
literature, history, and related disciplines in the humanities,
Salman Akhtar elegantly elucidates postmigration identity change.
