[Needs in rehabilitation and rehabilitative care of new target groups. Immigrants in psychosomatic rehabilitation].

Treatment of patients with migration background in psychosomatic rehabilitation is gaining in importance. Cultural differences and increased barriers are considered the most important causes for the inferior effective treatment results in psychosomatic rehabilitation and a higher percentage of pensions due to impairment. We discuss perspectives in psychosomatic rehabilitation which not only focus on the migration background as the main cause for inferior effective treatment results, but place greater focus on typical barriers of this patient group. For this reason, the need for more integrative and adapted forms of psychosomatic rehabilitation becomes more evident. Psychosomatic rehabilitation can be adapted by introducing case management, psychosomatic aftercare, and outpatient information groups.
