Abstract

The Maison de Solenn at Cochin hospital in Paris provides transcultural care to a local migrant population. The transcultural approach consists in taking into account the cultural dimension in care and favours, through a specific technique, the sharing of cultural representations between professionals and families. The therapists can move around the hospital to provide advice as and when required, notably to facilitate care and compliance and to ensure there are no misunderstandings regarding treatments. In some situations, we recommend a transcultural consultation which consists in forming a group of several therapists from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds, to discuss a complex situation with the patient and their family.
