This paper propose a clinic-theoretical model for the study of first-generation immigrant families and their descendants. Data came from two sources. The first was the research investigation conducted with nine immigrant families of Brazilian, Italian, and Portuguese origin in France, subject to the following inclusion criteria: couples of the same origin, who immigrated in adult life and birthed children in the host country. The second data source was clinical psychology activity, which served as a space for observation and application of the proposed model. Cultural and familial transmission favors "double belonging" and constitutes a significant element of integration among immigrants and their descendants, as well as an element of self-image and family relations. Social and governmental support valuing cultural differences plays an important role in such dynamic. Original proposal for family therapy based on a systemic model of intercultural psychology, in which history of immigration and its impact on intra- and extra-familial relations demonstrate, by the integration of cultural and migratory perspectives, to be closer to the reality of the subject in psychological and social (psychosocial) difficulties seeking psychological and psychiatric services.

Palabras clave : family relations; migration; cultural and familial transmission.
