It examines how this influences children's and adolescents' development, subjectivity, identifications, and identity formations. By taking a thorough approach to the intricacy of migrancy, this timely publication examines the many challenges that young economic migrants, environmental migrants, refugees, irregular migrants, and asylum seekers encounter prior to and following their geographic, sociocultural, and linguistic relocations. While not disregarding the benefits that can stem from international relocations, Carra-Salsberg also addresses contemporary concerns influencing young migrants' socio-affective experiences. As part of the book's discussion on the subjective significance of language, it takes a semiotic, pedagogic, and psychoanalytic approach to study the effects of foreign-language immersions and significant language learning, and how these can add to pre-existing traumas. The developmental importance of language is considered through theory, the analysis of memoirs, and the author's depiction and understanding of her own experiences between languages. Written for academics, psychologists, psychiatrists, pedagogues, counsellors, human rights advocates, and policy-makers, this book highlights the intricate connections between language, migration, and mental health. The restorative significance of language is also reflected upon in relation to migrants' natural need to grieve, testify, and find meaning within their past and present sense of self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernanda Carra-Salsberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804130397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804130391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Exeter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Fernanda Carra-Salsberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46618016678143,"sku":"9781804130391","price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd65a15b-dd0c-49d5-804c-81abc63a2692.jpg?v=1740068958","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/child-and-adolescent-migration-mental-fernanda-carra-salsberg-9781804130391","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
