A culturally sensitive approach to therapy with immigrant families: the case of Jewish emigrants from the former Soviet Union.

This article is based on accumulated clinical experience in Israel with families that emigrated from the former Soviet Union. It describes a culturally sensitive systemic intervention with two such families: a single-parent family, and a family that exhibited physical violence. Relevant cultural characteristics of family patterns and parent-child relationships in Jewish-Soviet families are reviewed. It is demonstrated how a cross-cultural perspective may affect the interpretation of presented problems and result in a less pathological perspective. It is further illustrated how universal intervention techniques combined with culturally sensitive approaches may produce positive effects in therapy.

Regional Law No. 40, 2 November 1988.

This Italian Law is designed to aid repatriated emigrants from Marche, foreign non-European Community workers, and their families. It provides subsidies for the initiation of economic activities and for residential lodging. It also makes provision for the children of emigrants to reside in Marche and for activities to maintain and protect the cultural identity of emigrants and immigrants.

The social and psychological effect of an adult child's emigration on non-immigrant Asian Indian elderly parents.

The impact of immigration on parents left behind has been largely ignored in the literature. This exploratory study uses cultural specificity theory to examine the effect an adult child's emigration has on the familial support system available to the parents left behind, and on the parent's psychological well-being. Twenty-nine parents (age 55+) in India, who had adult children in the United States, were selected using snowball sampling. Qualitative interviews based on a semi-structured interview schedule were conducted during the fall and winter of 1997. Results show that although most parents do not live in an extended family, they receive support from extended family members. However, the biggest source of daily support comes from hired help. Hired help allows parents to live independently and decreases reliance on informal support systems. Since hired help is relatively inexpensive most parents can substitute help for their children. This does not alleviate feelings of loneliness and depression.

International migration: a case study of South Africa.

"South Africa, which has traditionally been a popular destination for international migrants, is currently experiencing a net loss of legal migrants, but an enormous gain of illegal immigrants. This article analyses trends in legal international migration to and from South Africa and provides a demographic profile of legal immigrants and emigrants. The reasons for and results of the influx of illegal immigrants into the country are discussed, and possible policies and strategies to reduce this influx are presented."

Migration of Oncomelania quadrasi observed by the mark and release method in a wet bank of a stream in Leyte, Philippines.

The migration and population size of Oncomelania quandrasi were studied at two sites in a submerged bank of a stream in Leyte Philippines. The snails collected by filter paper in an experimental area were marked with manicure and released in the same area. Collection was repeated every 4 days in the same area for 5 more times and snails without mark were marked with manicure of different colors at each time. The immigration and emigration rates and population were calculated from the collection data. One experimental site with an area of 5.86 m2 was established at the edge of the water pathway, 3 sides of which were surrounded by wooden planks except that side facing the water pathway to determine the migration between the bank and water pathway. The other experimental site was 7.54 m2 in area, located in a submerged place close to high land and was left open in all sides. The ranges of the population, immigration and emigration rates during a 4 day period were 3845 to 7638, 0 to 0.4448 and 0.2263 to 0.8911, respectively in the former site. The results in the latter area were 1336 to 2468, 0.1261 to 0.6725 and 0.1349 to 1.2340, respectively. It was observed that the replacement of individual snails in a habitat was largely due to migration which in turn was influenced much by the change of water level in the bank. The emigration increased with the elevation of water level. On the other hand, the immigration increased with the lowering of water.

Patterns of male residency and intergroup transfer in gray-cheeked mangabeys (Lophocebus albigena).

We describe the movements and fates of 36 collared gray-cheeked male mangabeys (Lophocebus albigena) that resided in seven social groups in Kibale National Park, Uganda. The male mangabeys were captured, radiotagged, and then contacted regularly over a period of up to 8 years. Individuals varied considerably in how tightly they were associated with their groups. "Central" males were usually found in close spatial association with their own groups, but they sometimes visited others. "Peripheral" males were often found several hundred meters away from their own groups. Most adult males were characterized by repeated intergroup transfers, manifested as "visits" and "dispersals." Visits were transfers that did not result in mating. The visits were brief, and ranged from a few minutes to a few days before the male returned to his previous group, moved on to another group, or returned to solitary life. The term "dispersal" refers to a transfer that results in mating, after which the male remains in the new group. Young males began to drift away from their natal groups in early subadulthood, but the timing of first associations with estrous females in other groups was highly variable. Natal dispersers were generally solitary for a month or more, and at least half moved into nonadjacent groups. Secondary dispersal was common. After they immigrated, adult males remained in a group for a median of 19 months before they emigrated again, with the probability of departure being approximately constant in time. Secondary dispersal was usually made into an adjacent group and lasted less than 7 days. Emigration and immigration were not seasonal, and males emigrated singly and apparently independently; however, immigrations were clumped in time, and male dispersal contributed to considerable heterogeneity of group composition. L. albigena dispersal patterns are intermediate between those described for Papio baboons and forest Cercopithecus, and models that predict demographic consequences of dispersal for baboons can be refined to apply to mangabeys.
