title: [Investigation of practicability of OPD-CA for patients with migration background].
abstract: 32 clinical patients (5-15 years) were diagnosed with an OPD-CA interview-manual (Winter, 2004). To investigate practicability of OPD-CA for patients with migration background (N = 14) a comparison with patients without migration background (N = 18) was carried out. There were patients with different ethnical backgrounds. The OPD-CA covers the axes prerequisites for treatment, interpersonal relation, structure and conflicts. Both groups showed equal prerequisites for treatment, interpersonal relation and conflicts. Significant differences were rated in structure: Patients with migration background have fewer skills in control as well as self- and object-perception. The interpretation of these results remained unsettled and suggested a careful use of the axis structure of OPD-CA for patients with migration background. The replication with a larger sample in a multicultural team of therapists and raters would be important.
