Description
Anyone who has had the experience of living outside their native country away from familiar surroundings, people and social customs will find much with which they can identify in The Japan Experience: Coping and Beyond.
Drawing from their experiences in working with expatriate families and individuals, the authors have developed a keen insight into the phenomena of culture shock and reverse culture shock and their impact on families, children and single adults. Their book offers both a theoretical framework for and practical advice on dealing with the fears, frustrations and loneliness that can accompany a foreign assignment.
Coping with the adventure of overseas living is a process and one that can be learned. The authors examine the cultural adjustment process and identify several strategies that everyone can use, not only in their own adjustment to Japan, but in managing other stresses too.
