Intercultural sensitivity is an absolute prerequisite for working effectively as a therapist or counselor with families from foreign cultures. This book presents the theoretical basics as well as the practical aspects of this task.The ethnic and cultural diversity present in modern-day Germany has caused many profound changes and adaptation processes that pose particular challenges to professionals doing psychosocial work. Only when one can establish a gateway to the life concepts and special problems of clients with an migrant background is it possible to discover their special resources and skills and to accompany them on their path toward new life perspectives and developing coping strategies for life in a foreign country. This volume presents the systemic approach to the practice of counseling and treating clients in intercultural situations.
