The Salutogenesis theory and its essential component, the sense of coherence (SOC) is an epigenetic concept. The SOC was defined as a 'way of being in the world'. As such it is most important that one's SOC will be intact for healthy mental status. Collisions between western and non-western cultures might interfere in the process of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatment. This review demonstrates the importance of a culture-sensitive approach and therapy and the usefulness of specific culture-sensitive services for certain non-western populations. We illustrate this approach by giving the example of the unique ways of treatment carried out among the Bedouin of the Negev region of Israel.
健康本源理论及其基本组成部分，即心理一致感（SOC），是一种后天形成的概念。SOC 被定义为“一种处世方式”。因此，SOC 的完整对于保持健康的心理状态至关重要。西方文化与非西方文化之间的碰撞可能会干扰精神疾病和心理治疗的过程。本综述强调了文化敏感型治疗方法和服务的重要性，以及针对某些非西方人群提供特定的文化敏感型服务的实用性。我们以以色列内盖夫地区贝都因人的独特治疗方式为例来说明这种方法。
