title: [Physician-patient interaction from the migrant's viewpoint: suggestions for medical practice].
abstract: The quality of communication between physicians and migrants with psychosocial problems is critical to success of therapy and satisfaction with its course. Recommendations stress the importance of a patient-centered approach including a careful and migration-specific history-taking and of cooperation with colleagues and non-medical professionals, including migrants. These issues should be included in the medical training and in interventions made at the political level.
