INTRODUCTION: To look at the specificities of the work of a Transcultural Child Psychiatry Team developed to meet the need for specialized services for Montreal and Quebec's culturally diverse immigrant and refugee pediatric population. METHOD: A Transcultural Child Psychiatry Team was started at McGill University in 1995. The clinic's development and method of service provision for its patient population will be described. RESULTS: Modalities of assessment and treatment are modified to meet the needs of the team's clientele and also reflect the philosophical underpinnings of the team's practitioners. CONCLUSION: In this model of service delivery, current mental health care practice is modified in order to address the social specificities and cultural diversity of transcultural child psychiatric populations.
