Referring to the theoretical paradigms of the doctor as an agent of social control and of the doctor as a moral entrepreneur, this article tackles the (still relevant) theme of doctor-patient relations. The analysis focuses on existing social meanings and perceptions of non-health; then it identifies, in the dynamics of communication and in the related mechanisms of construction/ loss of trust, two key elements within the complex game which forms between male and female doctor and patient. A game of recognition of - and disregard for-– roles and requests and with different degrees of enforcement depending on gender; a game where deep-seated requirements for time and attention, of continuity in the process of care, and of construction of trust relations are still relevant..
Keywords: Doctor-patient relations; gender differences; cultures of health; communication; trust; illness
