Summary

Through a collection of clinical and academic voices, this book has aimed to regroup and further shape knowledge on refugee families and their role in coping with traumatic migration histories and diasporic identities in its members. Across the volume, contributions in Part I account for the growing empirical interest in documenting the refugee family unit as a dynamic system of interacting personal, transgenerational, and collective meaning systems, imbuing family relationships in exile with forms of relational and cultural dynamics of trauma coping and resilience. Parts II and III shift this systemic understanding into clinical practice, with contributions that provide a window into diverging modalities of working with refugee families, with contributions including different client system compositions, sectors, and systems-theoretical inspirations, located within particular national and local settings.
