GRT’s Integrated Transcultural Clinical Center operates with a team of professionals experienced in transcultural intake.
Psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatric physicians, educators and cultural mediators collaborate in the integrated care of patients in collaboration, where present, with the network of territorial services.
The goal is to offer a quality service to those who want a treatment intake that takes into consideration the connections between psyche and culture, both with regard to the etiology of the pathology and with regard to the treatment pathway and the activation of resources internal and external to the individual.
The transcultural method is geared toward listening to, recognizing, understanding, and valuing the diversity of the individuals one encounters, in a context of constant globalization where life situations and personal experiences lead individuals to move, mingle, and deviate more or less radically from the cultural roots from which they come.
According to transcultural approach, diversity an element of richness and uniqueness, which must be culturally understood and described in such a way as to correctly identify the origins of the patient’s suffering and illness and to promote the achievement and consolidation of a state of balance, health and well-being that enhances the specific characteristics and resources of the patient and his or her culture.
Integrated Services for the Person can work with both Italian citizens and citizens of other origin, or citizens temporarily permanent on Italian territory, and provides operators who can communicate effectively in the main veicular languages (English, French, Spanish).
There is also, upon specific request, the possibility of identifying a cultural language mediator from the same linguistic background as the patient.
The Services are staffed by specialists with solid clinical experience and specialized training in transcultural psychotherapy, psychiatry and education and provide psychological counseling, supportive pathways and psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, couples and families, medical-psychiatric counseling, and educational intake.
Our staff members have acquired transcultural expertise through both training and direct field experience.
