Description
Book SynopsisAfter the immigration of Turkish workers and the rise of the Turkish population to over two and a half million in Germany, psychiatric and psychosocial care for this ethnic group has gained in importance. However, there are always communication difficulties in the doctor-patient communication as well as among German and Turkish-speaking colleagues who want to work together or exchange ideas intensively. In addition, although most of the Turkish doctors, psychologists and sociologists living in Germany can speak Turkish fluently, they rarely speak the psychiatric and psychological terminology of their mother tongue. In addition, other professional groups (offices and authorities, consulates, police, lawyers, interpreters) need a reference work for psychiatric-psychotherapeutic terms. This German-Turkish and Turkish-German dictionary contains the extensive system of terms used in psychiatry and related areas with 5600 terms each. It is primarily intended for practical application and therefore also includes general psychological vocabulary. The Turkish terms are indicated with the linguistically older and modern words, depending on their scope.
