dc.description.abstractImmigration is a part of Canada's cultural fibre. As such, counsellors will likely work with immigrant clients who are experiencing challenges related to unnamed grief. This capstone explores the immigrant experience of cultural loss and its impact on attachment styles. Research in the areas of living losses, attachment, and culture is presented to provide counsellors with a framework for addressing the grief that can accompany the loss of culture. Special attention is given to disenfranchised grief and ambiguous loss to expand conceptualizations around grief and better address the needs of immigrant clients. Psychoeducational resources are provided to support counsellors in naming and validating the loss of culture.
