International employment and children: geographical mobility and mental health among children of professionals.
The literature concerning geographical mobility, psychiatric disturbances and mental health among children of professional and executive level migrants is reviewed. Most studies were found to be conceptually and methodologically flawed, tending to find whatever they set out to look for. Various problems that might be experienced by geographically mobile children, both in the short and the long term are reviewed. The question is raised as to what eventually becomes of third culture children, brought up neither in their home culture nor that of the host culture, but in an expatriate community.
