Book Overview
As bilingual individuals enter the educational system and the clinical landscape, they struggle with intricate, often painful questions of identity, culture, and assimilation. Professionals working with these individuals need to complement their knowledge of specific cultural issues with the psychological processes that all bilingual speakers share. The Bilingual Mind: Thinking, Feeling, and Speaking in Two Languages fills a critical gap in the cross-cultural literature by illuminating the bilingual experience in both its social and clinical contexts. Given the prevalence of -- and controversies surrounding-- bilingualism today, the author intends this book to benefit a wide range of therapists, education professionals, and scholars. The Bilingual Mind: Thinking, Feeling, and Speaking in Two Languages will prove as valuable to the frontline clinician and the evaluator as to the linguistic student and the policymaker designing the future of bilingual services.
