Die transkulturelle Psychiatrie ist zunehmend im Blickpunkt der psychiatrischen Praxis, Forschung und Lehre. Psychische Störungen können durch den Glauben und die Kultur der Minderheit der ethnischen Gemeinschaften verstärkt werden. Die türkische Bevölkerung in Deutschland bildet die größte ethnische Minderheit. Mangelnde Sprachkenntnisse und Unwissenheit über das deutsche Gesundheits-, Sozial- und Rechtssystem waren in den letzten 45 Jahren hohe Barrieren, die eine Inanspruchnahme von Institutionen, die Diagnose und die Therapie psychischer Störungen verhinderten und damit unnötige Kosten verursachten.
It is widely recognised that culture and religion are essential both to the cause and to course of psychopathology and to the healing process. Cultural sensitivity relies on the understanding of a patient through knowledge of his culture, health beliefs and barriers to health care. An appreciation for the background motives of migration, such as political conflicts, economic or social disasters, can enhance sensitivity. A responsive trans-cultural approach, which is based on a blending and integration of all facets of knowledge of the cultural-behavioural-socio-medical life of Turkish community living in Germany would provide the best that the science of psychiatry has to offer in the areas of integration, adaptation, prevention, diagnosis and treatment for a better future to whole society.
