Les représentations parentales sont déterminantes dans le développement de l’enfant. Leur part culturelle est importante. La migration, par son caractère vulnérabilisant, peut mettre à mal représentations culturelles et techniques de maternage. Le rôle du thérapeute n’est pas de cantonner la parentalité d’autrui à ses propres représentations. Il ne s’agit pas de dire comment être, ou comment faire, mais de sou- tenir les capacités parentales et permettre que leurs compétences s’élaborent et se déploient. À travers la situation clinique d’une mère et de son bébé, nous montrons l’importance d’un travail transculturel pour favoriser la construction du métissage des mères migrantes et le tissage d’une filiation narrative avec le bébé. Pour se faire, il nous faut apprendre à observer les interactions mère-bébé en situation transculturelle, et donc à se décentrer, cela devient alors une nécessité pour tout thérapeute d’aujourd’hui.
Introduction: Since 2011, the French government estimates that about 500 French children have been born in or taken by their parents to areas where terrorist operations prevail. Since May 2017, 75 children who returned to France have benefited from a dedicated health care system. Method: This article is the result of clinical interviews conducted with 53 patients evaluated and taken care of at Avicenne Hospital in Bobigny. To our knowledge, no studies have been published on this subject. Results: A total of 32 evaluations have been completed, all of which indicated the need for care for these children. Of these children, 64% are under 5 years old, and 59% were born in France. Their clinical profiles are heterogeneous and fluctuate with time. Discussion: The multiple adverse events experienced by these children and the uniqueness of children born to families suspected by authorities of having participated in activities related to terrorism make this situation unprecedented. How can we make a diagnosis of PTSD without the help of a precise anamnesis? How can we help these children form a structuring narrative that avoids the pitfalls inherent to generalized fascination?
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
