title: [Prolegomena on transcultural pediatric psychotherapy].
abstract: In a first step the concept of "transcultural child psychotherapy" is explained. Based on an analysis on the demand for a transcultural child psychotherapy in Germany the necessity for its development is pointed out. Names of institutions and persons suitable for transcultural child psychotherapy are given. A systematic attempt follows to integrate the transcultural point of view into general strategies and intervention techniques of child psychotherapy, stressing the psychoanalytical, client-centered and behaviour therapeutic approach. Specific problems as non-verbal, verbal and diagnostic aspects in transcultural child psychotherapy as well as toys are briefly mentioned. Problem groups of a special interest of a transcultural child psychotherapy (e.g. asylum seeking, migrant, persecuted, sold, and adopted children) are mentioned and pointed out to as specific risk groups. The essay ends with questions regarding the effectiveness of transcultural child psychotherapy and with an outlook into further research activities.
