Ethnic discrimination represents a social and psychological reality. As can be shown by case-material, it affects in a way specific for the individual developmental processes and psychic well-being. Referring to Goffman's concept of social identity the psychological impact of ethnic discrimination is described in psychiatric patients. Finally therapeutic and preventive implications are outlined.
