3. Résumé

«The model we propose uses outpatient consultation as a vehicle to deliver cultural expertise throughout the health care system, with an emphasis on supporting primary care through collaboration. The Cultural Consultation Service described in this volume began as a response to the growing diversity of the catchment area of our hospital. Cultural consultation is a way to bring some of the richness and complexity of the histories and social contexts of mental health problems into clinical work, through reformulating the nature of problems and devising solutions that fit the context. Our approach has been framed within the language of Canadian multiculturalism, inflected by the ‘intercultural’ perspective of Quebec and the cosmopolitan world of Montreal. […] Our subtitle, ‘Encountering the Other,’ points toward the basic existential fact of alterity—meeting with people with different lifeworlds and geographies of belonging. […] As the subtitle indicates, the focus of this book is on practice: on practical issues in clinical work, both technical and scientific, pragmatic as well as political. We have aimed to describe the process of cultural consultation in sufficient detail to allow others to develop similar services. In addition to framing guidelines and strategies for consultation, we have tried to bring the work alive through brief clinical vignettes.» (p. v-vi)
