✦ Synopsis

The author contrasts the traditional role of the patient as a passive receiver of health services with newer tendencies towards a more active, autonomous role. It is important that the medical profession itself changes its paradigms and develops new models of patient-doctor relationships which better correspond to changed structures of illness. There are chances for consumer autonomy if curative medicine is further developed and the dominating somatic-scientific approach to the treatment of psychosocial diseases is unremittingly questioned.
