Abstract

Drawing on work undertaken in a welfare context with students from overseas, this paper considers the effect of migration on the internal and external worlds of vulnerable individuals. Advancing die working notion that there is a simultaneous experiencing of maternal bereavement and the return of early infant anxieties, the paper makes use of Klein (1946) in its statement of the crisis and of Winnicott (1958, 1971) for suggestions for its resolution. © Routledge 1995.
