Description
While the diversity of families in North America is growing, there are limited literature and studies on the effective communication of psychologists with immigrant parents. The purpose of this presentation is to study the communication between immigrant families and psychologists in an assessment feedback session using a critical discursive psychology approach. This presentation will reveal some of the ways immigrant families and psychologists use emotion talk to construct different identities in their interactions.
