Ethnoclinic: languages, migrations, identities
Abstract
Our purpose is to describe the ethnoclinic experiences and practices, meant as a place of listening and therapeutic conversation. In our work, with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, we use a model that involves several practitioners, each with multiples skills: psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, anthropologists, educators and pedagogues. We are referring to the epistemology origined by ethnopsychiatry and by cultural psychology. Nevertheless, we move away from these disciplines, as soon as the meeting between practitioners and migrants does not fall into the presumption of replacing the traditional health care practices, as happened due to the ethonopsychiatric ingenuities.
