[The Paediatric Transcultural Clinic of the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital: from filiation to affiliation]. / La Clinique transculturelle à la clinique de pédiatrie de l'Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont. De filiation en métissage.

The Paediatric Transcultural Clinic of the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital is unique in the fact that it is part of a General Paediatric Unit. Therefore, the child's symptoms are often the result of a larger problem affecting the whole family. This clinic aims to provide a complete care by addressing physical, emotional and cultural issues. The clinic's professionals among the most often use the concepts of filiation and affiliation and the authors attempt to explain and illustrate them with two clinical cases. Their analysis raises an important question: how resilient can children be in an immigration context when dealing with issues of filiation and affiliation?
