Ethnopsychiatry in France

Paul Freeman

University of California Medical Center

The author recounts his introduction to ethnically-oriented psychiatric consultations for immigrant families, which has gained increasing recognition in France over the lastl5 years. Based on the theoretical work of George Devereux on the relation of culture to psychiatry, a group led by Tobie Nathan, a psychoanalytic psychologist, has developed large group multicultural consultations to make sense of the complex problems presented by patients from non-Western societies. Their work in clinical settings has evolved into the Centre George Devereux at the University of Paris Nord, where training in methods of consultation and mediation for immigrant communities take place. Their thinking has often challenged established psychiatric theories and practices based on Western society norms.

Key Words: Africa • ethnopsychiatry • immigrant mental health • psychodynamic psychotherapy
