Return migration is a topic of growing interest among academics and policy makers. Nonetheless issues of psychosocial wellbeing are rarely discussed in its context. Return Migration and Psychosocial Wellbeing problematises the widely-held assumption that return to the country of origin especially in the context of voluntary migrations is a psychologically safe process. By exploding the forced-voluntary dichotomy it analyses the continuum of experiences of return and the effect of time the factors that affect the return process and associated mobilities and their multiple links with returned migrants' wellbeing or psychosocial issues. Drawing research encompassing four different continents – Europe North America Africa and Asia – to offer a blend of studies this timely volume contrasts with previous research which is heavily informed by clinical approaches and concepts as the contributions in this book come from various disciplinary approaches such as sociology geography psychology politics and anthropology. Indeed this title will appeal to academics NGOs and policy-makers working on migration and psychosocial wellbeing; and undergraduate and postgraduate students who are interested in the fields of migration social policy ethnicity studies health studies human geography sociology and anthropology. | Return Migration and Psychosocial Wellbeing Discourses Policy-Making and Outcomes for Migrants and their Families
