[Psychotherapy with traumatised migrants from Turkey: taking into account cultural factors].
Culture-specific concepts of health and disease, cultural values, and other culture-specific factors can influence the outcome of psychotherapeutic interventions in migrant patients. In this article, culture-specific factors, and specifically, their role in sexually traumatized migrant patients from Turkey, are reviewed and illustrated with two case reports. The influence of culture-specific factors on trauma-focussed psychotherapy is being discussed.
