Cultural factors in the diagnosis and treatment of traumatised migrant patients from Turkey.

Abstract:

:The process of migration may be associated not only with great hope, but also with distressing experiences that can lead to trauma and posttraumatic stress disorders. Although some of the symptoms induced by trauma are common across cultures, the strategies used to deal with them are often culture-specific. In the following paper, we consider the unique aspects of trauma-focused psychotherapy in patients with a history of migration. We discuss a variety of culture-specific factors with the help of two case histories.
