Abstract summary 

The authors describe by turns their experience about indigenous medicine in Senegal, in New-Caledonia and in Nepal. They show that these indigenous medicines have common fundamental characteristics, although these various cultures are not linked together by their history. They compare these ways of thinking with occidental scientific medicine, and with the way of thinking of psychoanalysis.
