Abstract

We describe in the present paper some ideas about the usefulness of the systemic approach of interpreting during the time of family therapy with migrant families. In the next part, further thought is given to the concept of home, born of the works of philosophers, then of family therapists. The loss of home in the process of emigration and the subsequent bereavement, followed eventually by its reconstruction by the migrant family in the host country could become a strong point in the therapy with some migrant families.
