Les croyances culturelles sur la santé mentale : points de vue de parents francophones migrants de l'Afrique subsaharienne

The results suggest that the beliefs held by the majority of the parents on the subjects of mental health, MHDs and the accompanying taboos are similar to Occidental parents' beliefs, but that their points of view differ regarding the treatment of MHDs. Also, according to 7 of the 8 parents interviewed, certain MHDs are caused by supernatural phenomena. Lastly, some avenues for future research are proposed.
