title: [Psychosocial care of refugees in Germany : Insights from the emergency relief and development aid].
abstract: Approximately 1.2 million refugees have arrived in Germany since autumn 2014. They are often appraised as being a challenge for the German healthcare system because the acute need for healthcare support was large and appeared suddenly while at the same time resources were limited. This situation was previously unknown for a western European healthcare system, whereas it constitutes a typical challenge for nongovernmental organizations that are active in the field of emergency relief and development aid and that have developed a large number of successful intervention concepts. Of central importance in this context are the basic principles of equal rights, participation of those affected, the principle of nonmaleficence, the resource orientation instead of a deficit orientation as well as the need for integrated and stepped care models. These can serve as general principles not only in the setting of development aid in crisis areas worldwide but also in the health services provided to refugees in the current situation in Germany.
