    Speaker Program Meeting: April 13, 2024

    1:30 pm-4:30 pm EST

    Analyzing the Children of Immigrants:

    The Role of Unresolved Mourning in the Shaping of

    Conflicts and Identity Formation

    Presenter: Aisha Abbasi, M.D.

    Summary of Workshop:

    Immigration inevitably involves losses at the same time that it brings gains. In this paper, Dr. Abbasi will use detailed clinical material from her work with a patient in America, who was born to immigrant parents from South Asia. Dr Abbasi will illustrate how the parents' unresolved mourning regarding certain aspects of their own lives deeply affected her adult patient's perception of herself, her professional life, and her conflicts about the kind of partner she wanted to have. Dr Abbasi will demonstrate that a careful and detailed exploration of these issues in a psychoanalytic treatment helped the patient understand many of her seemingly confusing choices in life, and behaviors that were causing her great pain. Dr. Abbasi also hopes, through this paper, to (re-)focus our attention on the importance of a detailed family history, going back at least over two generations, as we try to help our adult patients.   

    Dr. Aisha Abbasi is a Pakistani-American psychoanalyst who has practiced psychoanalysis in the USA for over 30 years. During this time, she has treated a multitude of patients who are either first-generation immigrants or whose parents migrated to this country. Dr. Abbasi is a training and supervising analyst at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute and a Supervising Analyst at the Florida Psychoanalytic Center. She is also a member of the Tampa Bay Psychoanalytic Society and the Oregon Psychoanalytic Center. She is the current Secretary of the Board of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly and has been on the editorial board of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association as well as The Psychoanalytic Quarterly. In addition to having contributed book chapters and papers to psychoanalytic literature, she is the author of The Rupture of Serenity: External Intrusions and Psychoanalytic Technique and the coeditor of Privacy: Developmental, Cultural, and Clinical Realms.

    Objectives: Upon completion of the program, participants will be able to:

    1. Describe the many ways in which unresolved mourning in first generation immigrants can affect identity formation and development of conflicts in their young and adult children.

    2. Apply this knowledge to assess the psychological problems of patients born to immigrant parents who have not mourned the losses involved in immigration.
