Brief Summary: The symptomatic and clinical expression of psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents is strongly influenced by the cultural setting they are growing up in These cultural variations complicate psychiatric care especially for migrant children for whom appropriate care must be designed

Transcultural psychotherapy is an original psychotherapeutic technique developed to meet these specific requirements in France and in different European and American countries Its theoretical and methodological foundations rest on the works of George Devereux in ethnopsychiatry 1970 A psychotherapeutic technique intended for first-generation migrants was developed by Tobie Nathan and coll 1986 Marie-Rose Moro and colleagues 1990 have adapted this technique to second-generation migrants

Indicated as a second-line treatment after the failure of standard management this technique is fully formalized today It comprises group consultations for the child and the family as a one-hour session each month directed by a principal therapist assisted by a group of co-therapists of diverse cultural origins and occupations and an interpreter in the familys mother tongue The concept of culture is used to establish the therapeutic alliance decode the symptoms and propose treatment

The children and adolescents receiving this treatment have varied psychopathological profiles mostly involving depressive andor anxiety disorders Specifically migrants children are especially vulnerable to depression their psychiatric care is generally longer and less effective than in the general population and their rate of treatment failure higher

Transcultural psychotherapy has demonstrated its value in these situations in numerous qualitative studies but its efficacy has not yet been assessed by a method providing a high level of evidence such as randomized controlled trials
Detailed Description: Mixed method study using a multicenter Bayesian randomized clinical trial with blinded evaluation of the primary outcome Two parallel groups of 40 children or adolescents from 6 to 20 years-old and their family will be included In the experimental group patients will attend six sessions of transcultural therapy in addition to usual care The improved Clinical Global Impression scale scores at 6 months will be compared across groups Qualitative analysis of families and therapists interviews will allow to specify the therapeutic processes and acceptability of the therapy
