...Jeffrey Katz, a rheumatologist at Brigham & Women s Hospital, avers, "there is an emotional and psychological component to all illnesses." RSIs are no exception. Podolsky s own experience with RSI-she is slowly recovering from a case she developed last spring-has made her think beyond a merely "structural" model of pain, one that posits that "if it hurts, there must be a tear, or a break." While she is quick to point out that "the injuries are real," she believes that it is more complicated than that. "I definitely believe that a big part of it is stress-related...

Another helpful step for parents of foreign-born children is to include the customs, language and history of their birth land as part of the family tradition. While Katz waited to be allowed to take Lena home, she toured the girl's native village and took pictures to show her later. Families might also plan a trip to the child's birth country--or take advantage of summer camps sprouting up for multiracial families, at which kids are given the chance to learn more about their culture and experience life as a majority. "It's a very emotional experience," says...
