Identity, Attachment and Resilience
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-70170-0 (ISBN)
In this book, Antonia Bifulco researches three generations of her own Czechowski family, beginning in Poland in the late nineteenth century and moving on to post-WWII England. She focuses on key family members and places to describe individual experience against the socio-political backdrop of both World Wars. Utilising letters, journals and handwritten biographies of family members, the book undertakes an analysis of impacts on identity (sense of self ), attachment (family ties) and resilience (coping under adversity), drawing out timely wider themes of immigration and European identity.
Representing a novel approach for psychologists, linking family narrative to social context and intergenerational impacts, Identity, Attachment and Resilience describes Eastern European upheaval over the twentieth century to explain why Polish communities have settled in England. With particular relevance for Polish families seeking to understand their cultural heritage and identity, this unique account will be of great interest to any reader interested in family narratives, immigration and identity. It will appeal to students and researchers of psychology, history and social sciences.
Antonia Bifulco is professor and co-director at the Centre for Abuse and Trauma Studies at Middlesex University, London. She is a psychologist with expertise in lifespan development, and utilises an attachment model to examine relationships. She has had extensive research funding and publishes on issues concerning childhood and adult adversity, stress/trauma and clinical depression.
