The present book by Rebeca and León Grinberg is considered a foundational psychoanalytic work on migration. The author couple themselves had to emigrate to Spain to escape the Argentine terror regime of Videla. For decades, they examined, against the backdrop of their own migration experience, the potentially traumatic and identity-threatening effects of migration, as well as the hopes and fantasies associated with fleeing. León and Rebeca Grinberg explain the motives and expectations that influence the decision to emigrate, as well as the consequences of changing one's environment on personality. They address the emotional interactions between migrants and their old and new surroundings and investigate the peculiarities of the relationships between them and the members of the host group. Additionally, they describe the specific impacts.
