- Abstract
We are sometimes compare, in our practice, with treatment of patients coming from beyond the seas (like Guadeloup, West Indies). The psychologic characters are extremely confusing because the symptoms are polymorphs in the same patient, some character of hysteric, delirious and depressive registers, and also there is a cultural color changing the deep signification of symptoms presented to the doctor. The diagnostic research are not unusual face our proper culture and with inadequation of the classic diagnostical characters. The treatment's antilly patients mind the attirance for the exotic and the unknown phobies captivate and question our proper subjectivity.
