Identities in Transition is a book of the growth and development of a multicultural therapist/analyst. Hailing from all around the world (Argentina, England, Egypt, India, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, New Zealand, Mexico, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Poland) these therapists share their personal stories of a clinical mind at work. The factors that inform them are varied and diverse, shaped by their histories of immigration and professional training.
