Transcultural psychiatry appears to be a precious tool to help us reflect on our ways of doing and thinking in complex clinical situations. This paper presents three concepts associated with the practice of transcultural psychiatry: continuity, multiplicity and articulation of different spaces. "The variable geometry frame" elaborated by Moro underlines the importance of mobility and dynamism of clinical work. The analysis of a specific clinical situation shows us how transcultural psychiatry can help us navigate better in complex clinical situations. We propose the concept of "culturally sensitive child psychiatry" to describe our way of integrating culture in clinical practice.
