【 摘 要 】

From a sociological and anthropological perspective, this article tackles the issue of mental health in contemporary Senegal. It explores the different levels of mental disorder care and more specifically, their functioning and framework, as well as their implied logics and representations. The burning issue of wandering itself is scrutinized as far as its ties with mental health, urban dynamics and family structure are concerned. This stance leads us consider the logics that tend to account for the different reasons leading to the rupture and disaffiliation mechanisms which result in the eviction of mentally ill people who thence roam in the streets.
