摘要
The plight of immigrants in France and the United States bear a striking similarity. This article highlights the struggle of immigrants in the French society and the discrimination they face. A French academic discipline called ethnopsychiatry has arisen to help immigrants in France. It appears to be very similar in purpose to cross-cultural counselling, but draws more heavily in practice from traditional healing techniques used in Africa. The pioneering strides of ethnopsychiatry in the cross-cultural counselling paradigm are discussed. © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
