Abstract
Already in 2002, the Sonnenberger Leitlinien called for the development of further training programs for psychotherapists in the context of the intercultural opening of the psychosocial health care system [1]. However, so far, there has been a lack of evaluated, accessible (published) training concepts to enhance the intercultural and transcultural competences of psychotherapists in German-speaking countries. This article presents a training concept for medical and psychological psychotherapists as well as for psychologists in training based on the guidelines for trainings in inter-/transcultural competence for psychotherapists [2]. The concept focusses especially on the reflection of one's own culturally influenced values as well as on knowledge and skills that facilitate the development of a therapeutic relationship in an intercultural setting. Implementation tips are presented to help readers to apply the concept.
