Methods

To achieve a broad data base for the development of the guidelines the data acquisition was based on four columns.

 

1. Literature research
   There has been an extensive and systematic international and national literature research on the concerned topics.
2. Quantitative and qualitative survey of practitioners as well as with experts and patients
   Information about the demands and requirements on a cross-cultural competence training are elicited via questionnaires.
3. Execution of focus groups
   In total 8 focus groups each with 8-10 participants were realized. Thefocus groups were made up of psychotherapists with and without migration background, two groups contained psychotherapists in further educational training and two groups included patients with a migration background. Half of the focus groups have been held in Berlin, half in Hamburg. What is meant by focus group?
4. Consensus process and expert conference
   All experts taking part in the consensus process got the pre-processed results of the literature research, the surveys and the focus groups. The experts were asked to give their opinion. Following a multi-level selection procedure and an expert conference, all relevant findings have been excerpted and the guidelines have been approved.
