 s
an American who now lives in England, Kenneth Demsky has
the personal experience of being an expatriate, which helps
him focus on the psychologically significant aspects of immigration
and emigration for those who struggle as they make transitions
of this magnitude.
Some of the challenges
inherent in moving to a new culture are coping with the
loss of familiar ways of feeling competent and worthy,
even a partial sense of losing one's identity, as well
as the challenge to find comfort and to build support
networks amidst unfamiliar surroundings. By lessening the
instability and doubts of living in a new culture, informed
support and guidance can make the task much lighter and
of shorter duration. |
