Due to my background, my clinical practice is a synthesis resulting from the dialogue between Psychoanalysis and Cultural Anthropology.

​

Psychoanalysis, in seeking to integrate collective, intersubjective, and intrapsychic levels, has proven effective in promoting subjective transformations related to displacement processes.

​

Human socialization occurs through intense incorporation of ways of feeling, thinking, and acting transmitted by culture, contributing to the construction of an internal symbolic-identity framework that helps individuals make sense of their experiences. Belonging to a group that shares the same cultural code is essential in the psychic construction of the individual. Hence, the importance of anthropological knowledge in clinical work focused on immigrants.

​

During immigration, individuals encounter cultural patterns different from their own, leading to a disruption of this internal framework. Thus, in addition to the sacrifices imposed by displacement, immigrants must cope with the loss of internal reference points that help them navigate the world and construct their own identity.
