The author is grateful for the thoughtful discussions by four wonderful thinkers and writers, Ken Corbett, Frank M. Lachmann, Joye Weisel-Barth and Michael Pariser. Each offers a different lens through which to consider this analytic process that is so embedded in the psychology of immigration. The complexity of immigration and its psychological sequelae are considered anew as the author re-emphasizes the importance of considering the phenomenon from the inside out rather than the outside in. Issues of shame, loss and mourning assume centre stage as they must in order to begin to process the associated trauma involved.
