Families having gone through the process of migration face many obstacles in the transmission of their heritage. In particular during their teens, children born here call into question their ties with their parents born elsewhere. Heirs to a lineage interrupted by exile and at the same time first members of a new lineage within their country of birth, these teenagers have to create for themselves a multi-dimensional identity reflecting the different worlds they are confronted with. The distress they may experience in the process compels their family to redefine its relationship with the homeland culture. In this article based on a case report, I shall discuss the therapeutic issues at stake in the systemic-cultural approach of my work with migrant families, in particular the methodological necessity to create and co-construct an intermediate space where multiple representations of reality and thought processes can and must coexist.
