Die interkulturelle Öffnung der sozialen Dienste ist in den letzten
Jahren zu einem wichtigen Thema geworden. Diese komparative Studie
beschreibt in einer systematischen Gegenüberstellung, wie die
Gesellschaften Deutschlands, Israels und der USA auf den
Hilfebedarf drogenmissbrauchender ethnischer Minderheiten
reagieren. Anhand von empirischen Fallstudien werden Modelle
herausgearbeitet, mit denen sich Einrichtungen und Mitarbeiter der
psychosozialen Dienste einer multikulturellen Klientel öffnen
können.
Developing multicultural competencies within the social services
has become a continuous issue in recent years. This comparative
study, by means of a systematic juxtaposition, illuminates the ways
in which the German, Israeli and American societies react to the
needs of substance-abusing ethnic minority groups. On the basis of
empirical case studies the author elaborates paradigmatic models,
which psychosocial service institutions and professionals apply to
increase their relevancy with regard to a multicultural
clientele.
