Loss, Obligation, and Recovery: Migration Narratives of Former Soviet Union Families in Israel Caring for a Relative With Mental Illness
Despite the high prevalence of mental health problems among immigrants in many Western countries, little is known about how they or their family members perceive their immigration and adaptation processes. This qualitative article provides a retrospective investigation of immigration perceptions of families from the former Soviet Union in Israel who care for a relative with severe mental illness. Through holistic analysis of in-depth semi-structu…

The Impact of Familial and Environmental Factors on the Adjustment of Immigrants: A Longitudinal Study

The patterns of relationships in the family, however, only partia…

It is hypothesized that immigrants enjoy relative psychological wellness in the initial stages after their arrival in the host country (the first 12–1…
