This thesis investigates the impact of migration on the sense of self. It does so through the lens of self-continuity, a psychological concept that focuses on maintaining a subjective and diachronic sense of connection to the self. The analysis focuses on the experiences of two protagonists from works by Aleksandar Hemon: Jozef Pronek, a refugee navigating the complexities of immigrant life in the United States, and Vladimir Brik, who returns to Bosnia after establishing himself in America. Through their narratives, the thesis explores the dislocation of the self and resulting mental health crises that arise from their migrations: Pronek’s forced displacement due to war and Brik’s voluntary return home, with the emphasison how their journeys impact their self-continuity. By applying psychological criticism to migration literature, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how migrant experiences shape personal narratives and wellbeing, demonstrating the protagonists’ use of autobiographical reasoning in creating a narrative identity and the recovery of self-continuity
