The author examines forced migration—today a major world phenomenon—with a specific focus on the status of refugees. She underscores certain aspects of this potentially traumatic experience and considers it from dislocation to relocation in a new country. The article presents reflections on trauma and resilience processes and on a participatory care process based on interventions with migrant populations used at the social cooperative Terrenuove in Milan, Italy. The author blends general theoretical ideas with those of transactional analysis and uses a case study to illustrate the discussion. © 2018, © 2018 International Transactional Analysis Association.
