Transnationalism as a motif in family stories
Article Abstract:
Motifs suggestive of transnationalism in family stories, a term referring to the ways that immigrants maintain connections to more than one cultures as they 'forge and sustain multi-stranded social relations that link together their societies of origin and settlement' are researched. There are various indices of transnationalism and strength of one factor, such as maintaining relationships with friends and relatives in one's country of origin, not predictive of the strength of another factor.

Emotional transnationalism and family identities
Article Abstract:
The issues of transnational identity and its application to the theory and practice of family theory are discussed. It is found that this lends support to a movement whereby the themes of loss and discontinuity that dominated the clinical literature on immigrants are enriched by stressing continuities with the old culture through a variety of concrete and subjective means made possible by global communication advances.

Migrating across literature, stories, and family therapy
Article Abstract:
The stories examined give an inside view of processes used by family members to navigate two or more cultures and countries. This research spotlights the significance of supporting places for family stories related to the country of origin and also highlights the importance by not focusing just on life as lived in one country, but rather, on multiple locations.
