Abstract

In a cross-cultural consultation, a young girl of Tamil origin born in France seeks the love of her parents by oscillating between two cultures. Through group development and translation, the daughter and the mother are brought to understand each other's suffering and discover that they share the same deep love, even though it is expressed differently.
