Abstract
The sudden changes in the European socio-political landscape over the last century have led to a different type of approach by Western societies towards the other. Talking about multiculturalism by recognising its real importance means embarking on a much needed redefinition of the whole cultural system. Of course, not only in understanding and interconnecting different cultures, but also in trying to build a new language that destructs both official medicine and alternative practices, there are many difficulties inherent in such a wide-ranging project.
