Understanding the blessings and curses of multiculturalism.

Third Culture Kids could be a great read for people who grew up or are raising children in multiple cultures. The book offers a framework for understanding the challenges faced by these individuals and provides guidance for parents, educators and employers in supporting them. The unique feature of this book is the use of the PolVan Cultural Identity diagram, which helps readers visualize how their multiple cultural identities intersect and impact their lives. The book also includes new models for identity formation and tools for identifying and meeting the needs of TCKs.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
