Dienstag | 17.15 Uhr | Ambivalence of Healing Encounters: The (A)symmetry Between Healers and Patients Medical Anthropology Forum - Wintersemester 2021/22 Dr. Ehler Voss, University of Siegen, Anthropology Department The roles assigned to healers and patients depend on the conception of illness and healing, and thus on where the healing agency is located. Different answers to this question lead to different relationships between healers and patients. Often it is the healer who dominates, and even though in many cases both patients and healers seek precisely such an asymmetrical relationship, it has often been criticized, especially in the realm of modern biomedicine and psychology, which has led to increasing empowerment of patients, e.g., through shared decision making and informed consent. Such attempts to rebalance the relationship by taking into account patient knowledge not infrequently turn the asymmetry into its opposite (as in many esoteric therapies, for example) and patients themselves are given full responsibility for healing. Using selected examples, this presentation explores the variety of possible relationships and the ambivalences that arise from them and shows how the entanglement of the patient's and physician's perspectives demonstrates that healing is a cooperative practice of mutually making the conditions of mutually making.

Medical Anthropology raises important intellectual and scientific questions about human suffering and wellbeing, and about the human body in its relation to culture and society. This is a “survey course,” meaning that we will survey the most important topics in this field, including illness and suffering, ethnomedicine, ritual healing, the anthropology of the body, mental health and culture, medical pluralism and hegemony, critical medical anthropology, science technology and medicine studies, and others.
