520 _aMany migrant families—mainly single-parent Moroccan families—are seen at the children’s hospital in Brussels in the child psychiatry department of the Queen Fabiola Children’s University Hospital (GFCUH) for behavioral disorders, attention disorders, and psychosomatic disorders. These families come without the father, who has often “disappeared” and remains “absent-present,” or “absent.” The purpose of these interviews is to help the child represent this father by analogical language and by means of floating objects to situate themselves in relation to their dual membership; this work is done in the presence of the mother and the siblings, who are valuable partners. It is interesting to discover that real and imaginary representations differ; the latter allow for the symbolization of the father’s place, the elaboration of a possible mourning, the discovery of ambivalence, and the construction of new bonds in a more secure context.
