Amplifying the psychology of emigration by comparing it to stages of classic Greek tragedies, and drawing upon personal life experience as a first generation emigrant and psychiatrist who has treated hundreds of first and second-generation Persian emigrants in Southern California, Dr. Moradi will examine how this crisis of emigration creates a ripe circumstance for the process of psychological individuation.
