[Mixed narratives and transmissions in maternity wards].

The perinatal period represents a time of vulnerability for migrant families, as it raises questions about the possible transmissions for a baby born between multiple cultures. How can we support the process of psychic construction and family transmission within the mother-child dyad during the transitional phase of motherhood? The use of the transcultural genogram with women during their stay in the maternity ward has several advantages.

Epidemiological description of 529 families referred for French transcultural psychotherapy: A decade of experience.

Background: Transcultural psychotherapy (TPT) is an original therapeutic method developed in various forms in France and several other countries in Europe as well as North America to address issues of migrant mental health care when psychosocial, economic, or cultural barriers hinder its accessibility and effectiveness. This study aims to describe the patients referred for TPT in Paris and its suburbs over the past decade, to examine intercultural differences and associations with social, demographic, and clinical variables, and to assess TPT in terms of patient adherence, attendance, and duration of care.

Method: Retrospective study of 529 patients referred for TPT care, classified in three categories-no treatment, initiated treatment, engaged and continuing treatment.
