- Abstract
Taking as its point of departure a field study of mental health problems among Chinese migrants in Paris, this paper focuses on 17-year-old Laurent, the son of Chinese migrants, diagnosed in childhood as "autistic" and treated by several different institutions. Various social settings (family and institutional) in which the young man is active are analysed in an effort to understand the development of his disorder and the changes in the care he has received, and to highlight issues specific to his status as a "second generation" teenage son.
