ABSTRACT
As Sigmund Freud said, there are three sources of suffering: bodily decrepitude, the superiority of natural forces and the inadequacy of man-made institutions and organisations. This chapter is concerned with presenting the treatment of migrants who areostensibly-integrated into their guest culture. The two case study vignettes show two young people who speak German very well, who consider themselves successful (as, objectively, indeed they are) and who would regard themselves as belonging to a high level of modernisation. Two quite different analysands, a man and woman, both from Muslim cultures, whose origins and cultural backgrounds are quite different from the average analysand in a typical analytical practice in Europe, will serve to demonstrate that educated, successfully integrated migrants also require an interculturally-oriented, interactional therapy, which, moreover, also takes into account the "graves of language" which are potentially blocked up. One cannot expect every therapist to undertake comprehensive cultural studies of the countries from which migrants come.
