Cultural Anxieties is a gripping ethnography about Centre
Minkowska, a transcultural psychiatry clinic in Paris, France. From
her unique position as both observer and staff member,
anthropologist Stephanie Larchanche explores the challenges of
providing non-stigmatizing mental healthcare to migrants. In
particular, she documents how restrictive immigration policies,
limited resources, and social anxieties about the 'other' combine
to constrain the work of state social and health service providers
who refer migrants to the clinic and who tend to frame 'migrant
suffering' as a problem of integration that requires cultural
expertise to address. In this context, Larchanche describes how
staff members at Minkowska struggle to promote cultural competence,
which offers a culturally and linguistically sensitive approach to
care while simultaneously addressing the broader structural factors
that impact migrants' mental health. Ultimately, Larchanche
identifies practical routes for improving caregiving practices and
promoting hospitality-including professional training, action
research, and advocacy.
