Abstract
GARCIANDIA IMAZ, José Antonio and GARCIANDIA ROZO, Isabella. The Semiology of Migration. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2023, vol.52, n.3, pp.251-264. Epub Nov 11, 2023. ISSN 0034-7450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcp.2021.05.007.
Introduction:
The phenomenon of migration generates a series of experiences in the human being that are translated into emotions, feelings, adaptation processes, grief and psycho-pathological processes, and even pathological expressions, represented by clinical pictures of different kinds.
Objective:
The purpose of this article is to carry out a conceptual and clinical reflection on the semiology around the concept and experience of migration, in order to illustrate the complexity that it entails as a human phenomenon.
Methods:
A reduced narrative review, circumscribed and restricted to the semiological, psychopathological and clinical aspects of migration.
Discussion:
The separation, ruptures and losses that derive from migration do not go unnoticed by the individual. They are inscribed in his/her corporality as physiological injuries that affect his/her life and as symbolic injuries that affect his/her existence.
Conclusions:
Migration supposes a rupture of the totality of being. The context, the perception of others and relationships are cut off from the total unity that is the individual, as if he/she lost half of him/herself.
Keywords : Migration; Emotions; Migratory grief; Psycopathological processes.
