ABSTRACT
Working with refugees from different cultural background as well as from the host society can be challenging. Given the importance of cultural differences, it is important to develop a level of flexibility taking into consideration cultural differences and constantly apply it to our clinical intervention. In this chapter I will write about my points of view on intercultural approach that may not be welcomed and may be criticised. I find the positive outcome working interculturally and question universality of any types of therapy including psychoanalysis. Looking at psychoanalytical ideas in this book my aims is to address the characteristics commonly associated with trauma in reference to refugee. The flexibility that can runs alongside the empirical testing of hypotheses within intercultural psychoanalytic perspectives and its progressions will be discussedhroughout the chapter. I revisit many distinguished theoretical material with close conjunction with clinical practice. Vignettes are used to illustrate some of the key points.
