Abstract

From four observations of young north-african patients who have been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, the authors dwell on the difficulty of approach to the immigrant adolescent. For these, the double social context (family and its traditions/exterior and foreign surroundings) increases the difficulties that every adolescent meets with when he wishes to attain his own identity. Faced with this problematic situation, the psychiatrist's margin of manoeuver is limited in his professional practice.
