About the Author

The intercultural atmosphere Martina Famos has grown up with has formed her natural talent of understanding different cultures, the clashes that can arise when people have contrasting sociological reasoning and has set the ground for contributing professionally to a peaceful multicultural society.

Besides her experience as a counselor working with international individuals and couples in difficult situations, she had the exceptional ability to guide expatriates by a pragmatic and compassionate concept through their integration process.

Martina wrote Cultural Grief to close a life chapter in one-on-one counseling for expatriates, and so her expertise can continue to serve those who have struggles succeeding relocation. Her studies are on the individual psychology of Alfred Adler. Further methods of studies are the counseling concept of Rudolf Dreikurs and the art of encouragement by Theo Schoenaker. She has graduated and later worked as a tutor at the Akademie fr Individualpsychologie in Switzerland.
