Abstract
- This work takes into exam family as an institution starting with a vision of comprehension and decentralization, according to the complementaristic method by Gerges Devereux. Furthermore, examples taken from works in the ethnographic and trans-cultural psychotherapy field will be given, in order to better illustrate the discussed topics. It seems thus possible to conclude that family and parental forms are different (one from the other), and that an unambiguous and comprehensive definition is difficult. Efforts to understand and to find specific politics of reception are then required by clinician, educators and professionals who operate in the social field. Only this way differences won't hurt anymore, and new generations will find their position in a broadened society.Key words: Trans-cultural psychiatry, anthropology, family, kinship.
