The paper summarizes findings from the literature concerned with transcultural psychiatry. It is divided into five parts which deal with specific culturally conditioned units, problems of immigrants, cultural problems, methods, international studies and the bias of psychiatrists. The organization of psychiatric care in developing countries is mentioned. In the conclusion the author draws attention to the small number of original Czechoslovak contributions to this sphere as a result of the prolonged international isolation. Basic knowledge of transcultural psychiatry will obviously be very useful with regard to the expected influx of immigrants from the East.
