Abstract
The path through life of isolated foreign minors is often beset by any number of difficulties and paradoxical situations, leading to depressive syndromes and complex post-traumatic disorders. Educational services regularly refer them to the “Maison des adolescents” of the Hospital Cochin (Paris). How is one to understand and work with these young people, whose clinical presentation and life history is so different ? We put forward a transcultural method with two lines of approach. There are transcultural consultations in which the problems of the young person are analysed on three levels, ontological ; aetiological and therapeutic. Then there are indirect consultations in which the professionals who take charge of the young people are seen in order to discuss the situation which causes them concern.
