Pt. I. Understanding the world of TCKs -- part II. Describing the TCK profile -- part III. The TCK journey -- part IV. Maximizing the benefits; overcoming the challenges -- Appendices.

In this third edition of the ground-breaking global classic, Ruth E. Van Reken and Michael V. Pollock, son of the late original co-author, David C. Pollock, have significantly updated what is widely recognized as the "TCK Bible." In the original 1999 edition, Pollock and Van Reken first introduced the world to the concept of Third Culture Kids--children of parents who live and work abroad who spend a significant number of their developmental years outside their passport country. This new edition emphasizes the modern TCK, and the impact of technology, cultural complexity, diversity and inclusions, and transitions. It also features new advice for parents and others for how to support TCKs as they navigate work, relationships, social settings, and their own personal development. --
