Drawing on the Korean yin-yang approach as a framework, Dr. Park offers a nuanced understanding of the cultural values underpinning filial piety and anomic abuse in the contemporary globalised world. This book also offers insights into the challenges and opportunities experienced by Korean families as they navigate healthcare and social support systems in a foreign country while sponsoring elderly relatives. This book presents a key contribution to the field through the development of a new concept of enduring filiality, which emphasizes the ongoing exchange of care and support between generations. This concept acknowledges the evolving nature of filial piety and recognizes the challenges of providing care and respect for elderly family members in modern society. Dr. Park’s insights and analysis are valuable not only for migrant families but also for social workers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers in better understanding the complexities of intergenerational relationships, the significance of cultural values, and the impact of mistreatment in immigrant communities and beyond.
