移动电话、国际电话的广泛使用以及互联网连接和社交媒体的主流化等社会技术正在成为移民家庭体验的基石。信息通信技术正在支持家庭网络向跨国网络的转变，对移民心理和家庭心理健康可能产生重大影响。社会技术可能正在影响跨国经历并使其主流化，而家庭正在寻找有弹性的方法来应对移民带来的困难。跨国家庭之间的计算机介导的通信是一个令人信服的机会和挑战的来源，临床医生采取生态系统的角度来看，并解决这些新的情况。
Social technologies-mobile phones, the wide availability of international phone calls, and the mainstreaming of Internet connectivity and social media-are becoming a cornerstone of the immigrant family experience. Information communication technologies (ICTs) are supporting the transformation of family networks into transnational ones, with potentially significant consequences in the psychology of immigration and family mental health. Social technologies may be influencing and mainstreaming the transnational experiences while families are finding resilient ways to confront the difficulties posed by immigration. Computer-mediated communications among transnational families are a source of compelling opportunities and a challenge for clinicians to adopt an ecosystemic perspective and address these new circumstances.
