Tthe emotional cost of separation in migrant children: a study case in family migration between Tlaxcala and California
Abstract
In this research, I describe the psychosocial effects that separation
and reunification imply for the members of transnational families,
who live separately and interact between two countries (México-
USA). The members of these families who stay back, as well as
those who leave, pay a high emotional cost that is evidenced in
the way they interact and the alteration of their mental health.
These disorders that emerge in the transnational context have to
be studied under the framework of a new transdisciplinary
perspective that includes anthropology, ethnology, clinical
psychology and traditional healing. Only under this new analysis
perspective can we understand that certain disorders are exposing
the otherness and the suffering of individuals who live between
two different cultures.
