Sumario: | This book, authored by Romina J. Alves, explores the psychological dimensions of migration and exile through a psychoanalytic lens. It delves into the emotional challenges faced by migrants, particularly the transition from their native language to a new one, which Alves terms the 'language symptom.' Drawing on the work of notable psychoanalysts like León and Rebeca Grinberg, the book emphasizes the psychological grief associated with leaving one's homeland, culture, and identity. It also introduces the concept of 'insilio,' or internal exile, highlighting the complexities of migration experiences. The book is intended for psychologists, psychoanalysts, and scholars interested in migration studies, offering theoretical insights supported by clinical examples.
