['Child witches', analysis of a cultural countertransference]

The question of "child witches" is a tropism of the transcultural clinic. Caring for these children is a real clinical challenge. It goes beyond the subjectivity of the teenager to include the adults around him or her and the cultural representations which inhabit them. It also addresses the effects of migration, the psychological frailties of the adults and their traditional theories. This reflection shows the decentering work which clinicians need to do.
