| Summary: | In the Swiss context migrants are dramatically discriminated in the medical setting because of their inability to speak the local language. In this respect, the presence of a professional interpreter can restore an equilibrium between the local and migrant population. Results of a recent research action show that care givers are sharply divided concerning the limits of the role of the professional interpreter. So a large number of them would like to see the interpreter’s activity limited to a word for word translation. However, a minority of care givers, convinced of the importance of cultural aspects in the definition of somatic and psychiatric troubles, would rather see the interpreter as an agent whose action orientates the content of the consultation. |
