ABSTRACT
This chapter is about Dilek’s clinical work as a conductor with a group of Turkish, Kurdish, Armenian, Bulgarian and Bosnian women who come from particularly rural areas in Turkey and are predominantly Kurdish. It explores and demonstrates how gender, ethnicity, culture differences and similarities, and above all migration can act as a catalyst in a brief, closed, intercultural psychodynamic psychotherapy group. It tracks the process of a developed and increasing awareness of individual differences despite speaking the same language. The chapter weaves in vignettes with Turkish and Kurdish folk sayings. It concludes with some recommendations.
