Saint Joseph University, Lebanon

This article the specific position of the migrant who can-think-going- home-somewhere. This possibility makes his adaptation in his new country complexified by a homesickness. Nevertheless, the decision of returning to his homeland is much more difficult because it demands a considerable psychological preparation, in which the previous problematics of grief and separation are renewed. This process is examined in the text taking into consideration the ethnopsychanalytic theory and the migrant's experience.

Treatise of Reunionese Psychopathology and Therapeutics

November 2003

Jacques Brandibas

This thesis aims at understanding the entangling between cultural factors and reunionese psychopathologic disorders as expressed in a psychological transcultural consultation. Put in their psycho-historical and cultural context back, these disorders are related with the subject's relations to the sacred. The sacred is a notion that is present all along the thesis. Psychological and cultural ... [Show full abstract] identity, relationship, feeling of sameness and difference, order and disorder are framed by the sacred's anthropology. So witnessed troubles are able to take place in an universal causality classification: mystical, animistic and magical. Most of them are commonly related with the dead's interference in the every day's life. They can be read as fear's aetiology in a traumatic logic. Clinical observations and analysis of « traditional » healer's work show the tight relation between the disorder's traumatical breaking in and the healing work according to an universal concern : reinforcing social ties, membership's and self's consciousness of the weakest in the frame of a creolizing world.

Psychopathologie et migration : repérage historique et épistémologique dans le contexte français

Fabien Gouriou

L’objectif de la thèse est de proposer un repérage historique et épistémologique des rapports de la psychopathologie à la migration dans le contexte français. La confrontation de ces deux termes suggère que le phénomène « migration » constitue bien un objet de pensée pour la psychopathologie, et que les contours d’un domaine de recherche peuvent ainsi être tracés. Loin de prétendre à ... [Show full abstract] l’exhaustivité, cette dissertation veille alors à dégager quelques paradigmes significatifs puis à rendre compte de leurs logiques internes, c’est-à- dire expliciter leurs conditions de formalisation, de mise en impasse et de confrontation réciproque. Sont ainsi traités successivement, mais sans céder à l’illusion d’une histoire linéaire et cumulative, cinq paradigmes : la psychiatrie coloniale ; la sélection des immigrants ; la psychopathologie de la migration ; les perturbations dans l’ethnopsy ; les cliniques de l’exil. Le présent travail ne vise pas à la démonstration d’une thèse positive et se contente plus modestement de soutenir la pertinence d’un trajet borné par l’histoire et l’épistémologie, afin de montrer comment la migration contraint les cliniciens à un déplacement du regard et des savoirs. Une question foncièrement irrésolue ne cesse néanmoins de parcourir ces pages : comment penser le migrant comme non-identique à lui-même ?

[Co-therapy in intercultural clinical psychology.]

December 2013 · Santé mentale au Québec

Numerous clinicians practicing systemic psychotherapy have recognized the relevance of co-therapy, an intervention model involving at least two clinicians. Intercultural psychology and ethnopsychiatry have been inspired by the principles of co-therapy and have adapted it to the intercultural context. Our objective is to illustrate how co-therapy works in intercultural psychology, as it has been ... [Show full abstract] developed by the Specialized Psychological Services for Immigrants and for Refugees (SAPSIR). This intervention model facilitates the working through processes of mourning and of identity, important issues with migrant individuals. Finally, this practice cannot be reduced to the mere application of techniques including some cultural elements; it implies a special way of being in relationship with others, with oneself and with one's knowledge.

Osório Cezar e Roger Bastide: as relações entre arte, religião e psicopatologia

March 2007 · Revista Latinoamericana de Psicopatologia Fundamental

This article presents an overall view of two historical periods of the study of the interface between art, religion and psychopathology. Here we intend to review the texts: “The primitive art of the insane” (Osório Cezar, 1924) and “Painting, madness and culture” (Roger Bastide and Osório Cezar, 1956). Osório Cezar, a physician at the Juquery Hospital in São Paulo, was Brazil’s first researcher ... [Show full abstract] to analyze art produced by mentally ill persons.

Philosophie et ethnopsychiatrie : rencontre avec une « pensée fabricatrice »

June 2010 · Cliniques Méditerranéennes

Philosophy and ethnopsychiatry : encounter with a « manufacturing thought » The aim of this article is to clarify the means by which the ethnopsychiatric methodology practiced at the Centre Georges Devereux deals with the difficulty referred to by Devereux as the « perturbation » induced by the observer on the observed and vice-versa. This difficulty is all the more accentuated when dealing with ... [Show full abstract] migrant patients. In this situation, proposed interpretations based in translations run the risk of simplifying the logics of one world by projecting them onto another. The practice of mediation on the other hand is based in all that is untranslatable, the fundamental leverage in a functioning therapeutic relationship. Ethnopsychiatry does not simplify the « perturbation » rather it chooses to work with the multiplicity of logics and places the idea of « manufacturing thought » (as manufactured thought and thought that manufactures) at the heart of the clinical practice. Our aim is to show how the ethnopsychiatric setting lays the foundations for creating new thought on a situation (a thought manufactured in common with the patients and the institutions, from untranslatable areas), and how this manufacturing forces the construction of a framework that brings about psychotherapic results (thought that manufactures).

Résumé La clinique des migrants est parfois difficile dans un cadre classique, notamment pour ceux issus de sociétés traditionnelles où la médiatisation par un groupe est requise pour résoudre un conflit. Une adaptation du cadre de thérapie, en présence d’un interprète et d’un groupe de thérapeutes formés à l’approche transculturelle, permet l’émergence de récits difficilement énoncés dans un ... [Show full abstract] suivi individuel : sur une théorie étiologique culturelle, sur le vécu pré- et post-migratoire, sur les questions de métissage culturel et de transmission… Nous décrirons au préalable le dispositif groupal à géométrie variable qui accueille migrants et enfants de migrants dans le service du Pr Marie Rose Moro à la Maison des Adolescents de l’hôpital Cochin et ses évolutions. Puis nous décrirons certains dispositifs dérivés, pensés au regard des besoins de ces dernières années : la consultation « mineurs isolés étrangers », la consultation « adoption internationale », la médiation interculturelle à l’hôpital…

« Edgar Blanchet développe une réflexion sur la décolonisation de la santé mentale dans le cadre des services dispensés dans les milieux autochtones “éloignés” du moyen et du grand Nord-du-Québec. Il interroge ainsi l’écart interculturel et l’adaptation des services de santé mentale, un espace de rencontre et d’intersubjectivité souvent encadré par des normes occidentales bien définies. ... [Show full abstract] S’inspirant des travaux de Devereux et de Fanon, réactualisés par des critiques postcoloniales et décoloniales en ethnopsychiatrie et en psychologie, il aborde les implications idéologiques de l’approche occidentale de la santé mentale. Ce faisant, il souligne les contradictions étiologiques, la hiérarchisation des savoirs et la violence épistémique qui sont inhérentes à cette approche. » Dans Lecomte, T. (2019).
