Abstract

Numerous studies evidence how migration represents a critical event in the subject's life (Akhtar, 1999; Baptiste, 1987; Scabini & Rossi, 2008). Such an event is characterised by various phases, some of which reflect the loss of culture, family of origin, language and some of which concern adaptation to the new environment (Hertz, 1981, 1993; Kaёs, 1993; Sluzky, 1992).
