Abstract

Transcultural medicine covers the clinical and consultation encounters which take place between a therapist of one ethnic group dealing with a patient of another ethnic group. It does not describe any one culture in detail, but covers all cultures, highlighting the interplay. This subject has to have a scientific basis and must avoid the realms of politics and emotion. In science, criticism is a positive activity.
