June 5, 2009. Dr Tamas Fazekas has sent to World Journal "Psychotherapy" the article named „Therapy of the Other. Philosophical foundation of an intercultural Psychotherapy”.
Dr Fasecas said in his cover letter: “The article is analyzing the phenomenological basis of being different as the other in everyday life with the focus on intercultural relationships. Furthermore, it tries to clarify some common unsharpness in the use of the term otherness to finally discussing the possibility of something like intercultural psychotherapy from a philosophical perspective. I feel that communicating this basic analysis will contribute to reduce interrelational prejudices and to add a new concept of difference”.
