This book provides an overview of recent trends in the management
of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorders that may ensue from
distressing experiences associated with the process of migration.
Although the symptoms induced by trauma are common to all cultures,
their specific meaning and the strategies used to deal with them
may be culture-specific. Consequently, cultural factors can play an
important role in the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with
psychological reactions to extreme stress. This role is examined in
detail, with an emphasis on the need for therapists to bear in mind
that different cultures often have different concepts of health and
disease and that cross-cultural communication is therefore
essential in ensuring effective care of the immigrant patient. The
therapist's own intercultural skills are highlighted as being an
important factor in the success of any treatment and specific care
contexts and the global perspective are also discussed.
