Dissoziative Amnesie und Migration

Published Online:September 15, 2017https://doi.org/10.1024/1016-264X/a000198

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Dissoziative Amnesie verläuft unter Umständen chronisch und kann zu lebenslanger Arbeitsunfähigkeit führen. Die Krankheit tritt gehäuft im Zusammenhang mit Migration auf und verläuft dann schwerer als in anderen Fällen. Sie ist im Grunde reversibel, d. h., der Abruf der Gedächtnisinhalte ist nur blockiert. Betroffen sind Patienten, die nicht verarbeitete Stress- und Traumaerlebnisse als Hintergrund haben und dann ein erneutes Stresserlebnis erfahren, welches zum dissoziativen Amnesiezustand führt. Es wird postuliert, dass in erster Linie Patienten betroffen sind, die im neuen Heimatland nicht ausreichend und ihrem Anspruch entsprechend Fuß fassen konnten. Mangelnde Sprachkenntnisse und eine nicht den Erwartungen entsprechende neue Arbeitssituation sind am ehesten als Gründe anzuführen.


Dissociative Amnesia and Migration

Abstract. Dissociative amnesia is an illness that can follow a chronic course, resulting in the life-long inability to work. It apparently occurs clustered in connection with migration, where it then takes a more severe course than in other cases. This illness is generally reversible, since the recall of memories is only blocked. Persons affected are those with a background of unprocessed or inadequately processed stressful experiences who have been exposed to a new stress experience leading to dissociative amnesia. Patients affected are primarily those who could not adequately be integrated in their new country. Their lack of knowledge of the local language and failure to find a proper work situation in accordance with their expectations are most likely reasons.
