Working with Intercultural Expatriate Families draws on extensive clinical work with expatriate families to examine how family bonds evolve during cross-cultural transitions.

Lisette Weissmann explores how expatriates develop an intercultural identity - a tangle of interwoven cultures that leaves psychic traces and shapes psychological structure. Through six detailed case studies of families and couples, Weissmann reveals the various ways family bonds can either support or hinder adaptation to new cultural environments. The book establishes a link between theory and clinical practice, establishing conclusions about the subjective profile of contemporary people.

This book will be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, intercultural specialists, and expatriate families navigating the challenges of global mobility.
