“…Indeed, they have a specific vulnerability arising from a phenomenological split between the inside world (family, native language, the intimate sphere) and the outside world (the receiving country, school, etc). This vulnerability may express itself via an organic and/or mental pathology (Moro, 1994). The children of migrants are exposed to a transcultural risk (Moro, 1994).…”

“…This vulnerability may express itself via an organic and/or mental pathology (Moro, 1994). The children of migrants are exposed to a transcultural risk (Moro, 1994). On reaching adolescence, the child can no longer continue to accommodate this split; he or she must take on bicultural status, and forge a dual cultural affiliation.…”

“…It also facilitates the emergence of a variety of interpretations (Moro, 2004, 2010b). The aim of transcultural psychotherapies is, with the patient, to co-construct cultural and individual meanings for the issues that cause concern, by exploring ontological issues relating to the patient, aetiological theories concerning the disorder (meanings attributed to symptoms), and the therapeutic logics deployed (Moro, 1994).…”

The increased prevalence of anorexia nervosa reported in non-Western societies inevitably raises the issue of the influence of cultural factors in the genesis and the patterns of this disorder. Anorexia nervosa is not a straightforward Western culture-bound syndrome, although an influence of Western ideals of thinness does exist. The illness seems more related to rapid cultural shifts, either societal or individual, such as those occurring in the migratory process. Migrants and their children have to face the acculturation process and may experience a culture-clash. The pathology can also fulfil a positive acculturative function. This is a case study concerning a second-generation Chinese girl born in France presenting with anorexia nervosa. This case leads us to raise the issue of the choice of diagnostic criteria in relation to cultural background. We will also discuss the impact of the family's migratory history on the construction of identity in adolescence. Finally we will explore the specific features of care provision for anorexia nervosa in a transcultural setting.

“…The therapeutic work, which involves understanding and reflecting about the notions of cultural diversity, authorizes the family, with the group's help, to co-construct ways to think about the distress and the disease and to resolve the conflicts. These ways of thinking will in fact be métissées or hybridized, since migrant subjects, whether born abroad or of parents born abroad, are necessarily a hybridization of two cultures, that of their origins and that of their host country (50). The "understanding of cultural diversity" tends to predominate over "cultural competence" today (36).…”

Background: Cultural context substantially affects the experience and clinical expression of psychiatric diseases, while cultural factors limit both access to and effectiveness of care, especially for migrant families requiring specific types of services. We conducted a scoping review on psychiatric services adapted to cultural diversity, to compare these models of care to the French Transcultural Psychotherapy model. Methods: Systematic electronic search of databases (PubMed and PsycINFO), manual search of archives of journals dealing with transcultural psychiatry, and consultations with international experts, to identify all papers describing clinical models devoted to psychiatric care for migrants, published between January 1990 and October 2018. Narrative synthesis of the included articles. Results: The study included 29 papers. The specificities of psychiatric services for migrant families are linked to the host country's migration patterns and citizenship model. In English-speaking countries, specialized services for ethnic minorities offer ethnic matching of the therapist and patient. In Canada, indirect transcultural consultation services have existed since the late 1990s. Australia emphasizes the networking of consultation services and professional training in cultural competence, while the Nordic countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark) focus management on trauma. In France, psychotherapy services, with flexible numbers of therapists involved according to the situation, have existed since 1990. Discussion: Most initiatives place emphasis on training and supervision, in an indirect approach not specifically focused on the patient, or offer cultural matching of patient and therapist. The French transcultural approach, on the contrary, makes the family's culture and its cultural diversity an integral part of the therapy process.

“…Each therapist must be trained in decentering, that is, must be able to “not interpret the unknown in terms of the known” [ 53 ] and be able to accept that the center of the relationship is not only the therapist's but also the patient's center. They learn to distance themselves from their own point of view to be able to put themselves in the other's place and understand their perspective and their feelings [ 41 , 54 ].…”

Objective Adolescent migrants present psychological disorders more frequently than the corresponding host population but their access to care and to follow-up are less effective. The French method of transcultural psychotherapy (TPT) was conceived to respond to these problems. Our objective is to assess how these adolescents and their families perceive the experience and effectiveness of TPT. Method We conducted semistructured interviews with the families of adolescents seen for TPT. The data were analyzed by a qualitative thematic methodology. Results We spoke to 21 participants in 8 families. The families came to TPT with a sense that the teen's current treatment was at an impasse. During the follow-up, they noted that family communication and relationships had improved, as had their connection to their culture of origin. Besides commenting on what they perceived as limitations, families identified specific elements of TPT as therapeutic. Conclusion The pronounced diversity of the group and the use of both multiperspective narration and an interpreter were specific elements driving the construction of a good therapeutic alliance, despite the initial barriers. Pursuit of the evaluation of TPT is essential to advance the psychiatric care of adolescent migrants.
