越来越多的老挝、柬埔寨和越南难民来到精神卫生中心寻求帮助。对于印度支那患者来说，情绪问题可能具有非常不同的含义——这种含义对于西方人来说并不是立即显而易见的。情绪困扰的人可能会觉得自己受到了惩罚，向心理治疗师吐露心声是对家庭和祖先的羞辱或背叛。因此，情绪问题可能会转化为躯体疾病，尤其是呼吸道和胃肠道方面的疾病。对难民的心理治疗涉及不同的技巧和不同的意义。例如，对抗和探索可能会被患者误解。在与印支难民合作时，建议临床医生保持灵活、坚持和开放的态度。
Increasingly, refugees from Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam are coming to Mental Health Centers for help. For the Indo Chinese patient, an emotional problem may have a very different meaning—a meaning not immediately obvious to the Western mind. The emotionally troubled individual may feel that he or she is being punished, and that confiding to a psychotherapist is shaming or betraying the family and the ancestors. Consequently, emotional problems may be converted to somatic complaints, particularly of the respiratory and gastrointestinal variety. Psychotherapy with the refugee involves different techniques as well as different meanings. Confrontation and exploration, for example, may be misunderstood by the patient. In working with the Indo Chinese refugee it is recommended that the clinician be flexible, persevering, and open minded.
