psychotherapy, transcultural, intercultural, cultural competence, migrant, minority, ethnicityAbstract
The nature of intercultural psychotherapy for patients of different ethnic-cultural background, including migrants or refugees, is elaborated on the subjects of: orientation to psychotherapy, communication in therapy, the art of using an interpreter, therapist-patient relationship, relevant understanding of the problems, and the goal of psychotherapy to be aimed for. The emphasis is laid for the need of culture-competent therapy for every patient but particular attention and effort is needed when the patients have wide cultural gap with the therapists, such as migrant or ethnic minority.
