Abstract

Working in Primary Care is not a static work as a dynamic one, what means we have to be able and open-minded to face up the changes than society leads in our patiens. Immigration process is a new reality in Spain and secondarily in our daily work. How does affect this problem to emigrant-children? When we see certain behaviours and attitudes in children, do we think in simple anxiety or in a "posttraumatic syndrome" because of immigration?
