520 _a "In Immigration and Acculturation, Salman Akhtar examines the traumatic impact of immigration and the accultration 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. Deftly synthesizing observations from psychoanalysis, anthropolgy, literature, history, and related disciplines in the humanities, Akhtar elegantly elucidates postmigration identity change. He offers firsthand accounts of immigrants from a variety of backgrounds and countries of origin, and he provides astute clinical strategies for working with immigrant and ethnically diverse patients and their offspring."--Back cover.
