Abstract
<p class="first" id="d2830082e151">Despite an extensive body of research on somatic
symptom presentation among people
of East- and Southeast-Asian descent, results are still inconclusive. Examining and
comparing symptom presentation in clinically and ethnically well-characterized populations
may constitute a step towards understanding symptom presentation between patients
with a different cultural background. This study aims to compare Vietnamese and German
patients regarding cultural dynamics of symptom presentation upon first admission
to a psychiatric outpatient service.
