    In institutions in the social and health sectors, divisions within teams are an almost inherent part of their makeup. The interdependent nature of the teams and their work focusing on caregiving relationships produce a defensive group mode with complex ramifications and detrimental effects. Such divisions fall into a scenario of exclusion and a logic of rivalry among colleagues. The human suffering generated by this phenomenon and the negative consequences for the people receiving aid remain understudied. In this regard, the present paper offers a clinical outlook based on team meetings and sessions where practices were analysed. These different work contexts among educational, paramedical, and management teams made it possible to interpret institutional divisions as boundaries and to develop a typology of stable/organised divisions versus unstable/disorganised divisions. The paper explores these different aspects, looking at the suffering and probable evolution of these kinds of organisations. Finally, the paper suggests possible avenues for breaking down these divisions, in the form of recommendations and institutional mechanisms

    Les recherches en psychologie clinique interculturelle décrivent avec pertinence les aménagements psychiques et/ou psychopathologiques engagés par les processus acculturatifs. Cependant, se pose la question de la façon dont les différentes cultures au carrefour desquelles se situe un sujet vont interagir entre elles au sein même de l'individu. Ainsi, la rencontre des cultures ne se produit pas uniquement dans le champ social, mais aussi dans l'espace psychique, de sorte que l'interculturel ne décrit pas simplement un phénomène extérieur, mais plus singulièrement une composition subjective. Pouvons-nous produire une représentation topique de cette pluralité interne ? Que nous apporterait-elle dans la compréhension du sujet interculturel ? Afin de répondre à ces questions, nous proposons une approche interdisciplinaire et transversale entre ces deux « commutateurs » du social en l'individu que sont le Surmoi et l'habitus. La modélisation d'un « acteur pluriel » (Lahire, 2001), à l'image des matrices de socialisation et espaces sociaux auxquels il participe, servira de socle à partir duquel nous penserons la pluralité interne du sujet interculturel. Les dispositifs de régulation psychique (mécanismes de défense et stratégies de coping) seront nos indicateurs. Notre étude porte sur la comparaison de sujets (N=497) autochtones et issus d'une immigration, en fonction de l'aire géographique et culturelle d'origine et du degré d'ascendance immigrée. Nos résultats concordent globalement avec l'hypothèse d'un sujet interculturel sur le modèle d'un acteur pluriel. Cette perspective nous permet de proposer une représentation topique de l'incidence de l'interculturalité comme pluralité interne, mais aussi, à un niveau empirique de dégager une représentation dynamique des incidences de l'immigration sur les sujets qui en sont issus.Research in intercultural clinical psychology describes the psychic and/or the psychopathological changes incurred by the acculturation process. However, the question arises of how different cultures will interact with each other within the psychological space of the individual. Thus, the meeting of cultures does not only occur within the social field, but also within the psychicological space. The intercultural aspects do not simply refer to an outside reality, but more particularly to a subjective experience. Can we produce a representation of this internal plurality? What would be its contribution in understanding the intercultural domain? To answer these questions, we propose a transversal and interdisciplinary approach that strives to understand how the two social "switches" of the individual operates, that is the superego and the habitus. The modeling of a "plural actor" (Lahire, 2001), in the image of socialization matrices and social spaces to which he belongs, will serve a basis from which the internal plurality of cultures will be addressed. The regulatory mechanisms of the psychic (the defense mechanisms and the coping strategies) will be our indicators. Our study focuses on the comparison between non-immigrant and immigrant individuals (N=497), in function of their geographical and cultural origin, and the degree of immigrant descent. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis according to which an intercultural topic should be integrated in the model of a plural actor. This perspective allows us to provide a clear picture of the impact of multiculturalism as internal plurality, but also to generate a dynamic representation of the effects of immigration on related topics
