Transcultural Psychotherapy

Abstract

This article will demonstrate the functionality of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy in different transcultural environments. The article will present the psychodynamic, humanistic and integrative approaches to situations in which transcultural questions are the point at issue. The article will show how a psychotherapist, though deeply-rooted in the Oriental, Ottoman culture, can merge the knowledge and experience garnered from this Oriental environment with the scientific advances of the occident to resolve these problems. Works from both of these cultural traditions will be cited and illustrated.
