The primary aim of this chapter is to describe a study which examined the type of difficulties encountered by traditional-oriented Moroccan immigrants while seeking treatment for psychiatric problems in a Western-oriented therapeutic setting. Specifically, we tried to understand which age group encountered more dificulties and conflicts related to the disparities between their traditional beliefs and the Western-oriented beliefs of their therapists. A study example will be presented to illustrate the topic. The study sample was comprised of 38 women of Moroccan origin, ranging in age from 20-60 years old, who were living in Israel and undergoing treatment for psychiatric disorders at an outpatient clinic, as well as the nine psychiatrists treating them. The data were collected through ethnographic semi-structured interviews conducted with both groups. Three age groups emerged within the study: young women, mature women and older women. The results show differences between the three age groups in the patient's illness perception, including the symptoms, the illness and recovery process, and the difficulties encountered in the therapeutic relationship. While cultural conflict appeared to affect the development of mental illness in each group, it was the strongest among mature women in the middle age range. Moreover, problems in the therapeutic alliance were greatest in this age group, though the therapists continued to maintain a Western perspective in their diagnosis and treatment of these patients despite the lack of cooperation and alliance in the therapeutic relationship. It is suggested that professionals treating traditional-oriented populations should try to be more sensitive to the context of cultural beliefs rather than imposing Western standards of treatment. Additionally, the adolescents stage of immigration and acculturation should also be taken into account, for improving the effectiveness of the treatment. Although this research concentrated on the problems of a specific immigrant population in Israel with respect to the effects of contrasting views of mental health practices, it nevertheless mirrors similar conflicts experienced by other immigrant populations and their doctors, both in Israel and in other host countries. In fact, it may also reflect a wider conflict between Western perspectives on health care and traditional healing practices and the impact on acculturation and adjustment to the new culture in particular among adolescents.
