The Ulysses Syndrome

What is remarkable in this book edited by Professor Joseba Atxotegi is clearly and distinctly the look at the concept of migration and everything derived from it concerning the impact on the individual. The innovative approach of Ulysses Syndrome has already made it possible to determine an extremely relevant distinction regarding the non­-systematization of the psychopathological process and its exaggerated classification in the psychiatric field. Indeed, this psycho-anthropological perspective allows us to accurately assess the difficulties encountered by a person in a situation of migration or exile without stigmatizing him or her by referring systematically to a process of mental disorder.
