title: [Patients of Turkish origin in an institutional psychiatric outpatient service].
abstract: Germany has changed to a multicultural society within the last decades, similar to other industrial countries in Europe. The health system has not yet adapted to this situation and there is a need for better treatment of migrants with specialized programs. It is important to create consciousness about the situation of migrants and their requirements. The Westphalian Center Bochum as part of the Ruhr-University Bochum offers a specialized care project for people derived from Turkey and has a culture competent outpatient service. The results of this care project are presented along an evaluation of 115 Turks, who were treated within the year 2006.
