Abstract
Integration has become an extremely important and controversial global issue. Italy is facing a huge increase in the immigrant population which presents a daunting integration challenge in many sectors: economic, social, health and educational (ISTAT 2013). The authors propose the Cultural Identikit as a proven instrument to assist in the integration process. It has been used as a transcultural psychotherapy instrument for more than 30 years in Italy by the Fondazione Cecchini Pace, Milan (Terranova-Cecchini, 1991, 2013). This work reports a recent project in an immigration center sponsored by the Municipal Government of Milan where it was used as a therapeutic tool to assist in the integration process.Pubblicazioni consigliate
