Abstract:
The ability of immigrant groups to integrate successfully into American society often depends on overcoming a series of stressful barriers. An emotional toll is exacted upon the family and especially on children, who, in addition to coping with the normal stresses of development, are subject to the migration stresses of their parents. Soviet families, anxious to be successful in their adoptive country, ofien place untenable burdens upon their children.
