Abstract
The article gives an overview of facts and figures, background information on health legislation and the current psychosocial situation of refugees and asylum seekers in Germany. It portrays the challenges for psychiatric, psychotherapeutic and psychosocial care. Using an extended concept of traumatization, which takes not only medical, but also psychological, political and social approaches into account, both the opportunities and the difficulties in those treatments are illuminated. Moreover, based on the experience of the Centre for cross-cultural Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Clinic of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Charité University Medicine Berlin, Campus Mitte, the tensions between the therapeutic and social- political everyday are portrayed. The article finishes with an outlook on the more recent projects and initiatives at the clinic. © Schattauer 2016.
