| Summary: | Going through uncommon meaningful sights produces a physiological sense of displacement and requires necessarily an extra-ordinary creative effort to build up new therapeutical partnerships and new work strategies. Obviously, migrant people’s fatigue mirrors health operators’ one: they have to face social integration/ interaction/coexistence and the consequent identity reformulation. Through every human practice, be it personal or professional, values come out, built up through life experiences by playing actors. These cultural and social values often remain unspoken in our everyday clinical practice: they may become an important communicative obstacle in transcultural settings but also a great opportunity of growth and reciprocal enrichment. Clinical ethnopsychology, through the enriching engagement with anthropological and social sciences, puts forth practical and theoretical tools to familiarize in new communicative contexts and to develop a wider consciousness about the necessarily localized nature of our healing practices, and of their social, political and in last analysis ethical consequences.
