title: [Turkish immigrants in ambulatory psychiatric treatment].
abstract: Socio-demographic and migration-specific particularities of first generation immigrants from Turkey (n = 133) treated at the Psychiatric Outpatient Department of the University Hospital, Basel were examined. 65.4% of the immigrants were men, 34.6% women. Women were significantly more often (p = 0.01) analphabetic than men and more often admitted as emergencies (p = 0.002). 66.7% of the married women and 57.8% of the married men were separated from their partners for more than one year because of migration. Adjustment disorder was the most frequent diagnosis in both genders. Opiate-dependency was not found in both genders, and none of the women were alcohol-dependent. The data are discussed on the background of socio-demographic characteristics of the Turkish immigrant population living in Basel and compared to studies made in Turkey.
