| Description |
This project investigates mental health service provisions for
refugees and asylum seekers in the Netherlands, paying special
attention to the cultural appropriateness of the services provided
and the misunderstandings which can arise of culturally-determined
differences in expectations.
The project comprises three phases:
Inventorisation of mental health services. A study of cultural
differences in the interactions between mental health workers
and refugees/asylum seekers.
In-depth studies of two questions arising from phases 1 and 2:
The role of political factors in the way refugees experience
their problems. Service provision for refugees in the context
of provisions for other migrants.
