Abstract
AbstractThe psychological research of migration tends to overstress its distress‐provoking aspects and neglect the psychological opportunities that immigration presents. Based on the conceptualization of migration as a separation–individuation process, this paper attempts to shed some light on potential growth‐promoting factors in migration. Through the narrative of a young woman immigrant, it demonstrates how migration may offer an additional opportunity for psychological maturation and the attainment of autonomy.
