Abstract
During the 3 week rehabilitation course the improvement of the functioning on the level of different organs and body parts was achieved. The language barrier among the patients and the staff was not observed. There were some problems in the process of setting the rehabilitation goals. The dominant wish of the patients was to receive passive rehabilitation proce- dures instead of active participating. The interviews revealed that overall experience was pleasant and satisfying. There are also some more subtle cultural differences, e.g., perception of reciprocity and hospitality or cultural perception of food consumption. The war trauma as a social factor, was largely ignored
