Abstract
Zachariae, B.: Psychotherapy and cultural differences. Some experiences related to psychotherapy with Iranian refugees. Nordisk Psykologi, 1987, 39 (1), 28–42. With the growing number of refugees from the Middle and Far East, and due to the fact, that many refugees have had traumatic experiences related to torture, imprisonment and persecution, there exists an increasing need for psychotherapeutic assistance.
