[Archaic countertransference of the cotherapist in transcultural consultations]

Abstract

In transcultural consultations, clinical psychologists meet families who do not share their same language, nor the same cultural reference system. This activates in them countless countertransference materials qualified as archaic. The position of co-therapist, in a group session, helps to bring together this content and present it in a secondary form to feed the patient's therapeutic process.

Keywords: archaic countertransference; co-therapist; consultation transculturelle; contre-transfert archaïque; cothérapeute; dispositif thérapeutique de groupe; group therapy; transcultural consultation.
