尽管对移民的精神卫生保健挑战进行了大量研究,特别是难民和寻求庇护者,对治疗方法的关注较少。我们使用了英国的案例研究,从文化模型方法(来自认知人类学)来分析移民在精神保健方面的经验。居住在英格兰东北部和北爱尔兰的25名难民和寻求庇护者接受了采访,他们在过去三年中至少使用了六次谈话疗法。我们的结果表明,采用“文化模式”的方法,它提供了一个新的概念和方法框架的移民经验和他们的潜在模式和期望,将大大有助于建立治疗联盟,并为移民客户提供相关和适当的治疗,特别是对于未被认可的移民前和移民后的创伤经历。
Despite the existence of significant research on the mental health care challenges of migrants, particularly refugees and asylum seekers, less attention has been paid to treatment approaches. We used a case study from the UK to look at the topic from a cultural models approach (which comes from cognitive anthropology) to analyse migrants\' experiences with mental health care. Twenty-five refugees and asylum seekers living in North East England and Northern Ireland were interviewed who had used at least six sessions of talking therapy during the last three years. Our results suggested that adopting a \'cultural models\' approach, which offers a new conceptual and methodological framework of migrants\' experiences and their underlying schemas and expectations, would significantly contribute to building therapeutic alliances and provide relevant and appropriate treatments for migrant clients, particularly for unrecognised pre- and post-migration traumatic experiences.
