“Der Laternenpfahl” und “Die Leiche im Fluss” Eine Geschlechterhabitusübung im Rahmen des Kursus Medizinische Psychologie und Medizinische Soziologie

With the new ÄAppO the medical sociology faces the task to tie on the experiences of the students and to develop offers more oriented at the medical practice.

The exercise presented in this contribution are designed to make conscious to the students of medical sciences that their later medical acting is among others shaped by many different social conditions and also by their gender differentiated spaces of experience. Here they may think about the conception that they as well will not be protected from becoming aware and treating the male and female patients in a gender differentiated manner. First this contribution will introduce into the theory of habitus. After that you will find the exercise itself: the elements, the organisation and in the center the time process. As the exercise has been accomplished five times before, in a fourth part chosen results will be presented. In the center are, as well as in the exercise, (two) stories told by a group of men and a group of women. After a presentation the developing process will be shortly outlined: the rules of telling set up by the groups, the rules of rhythm and the discourse process. With the – certainly just suggested – interpretation of the results the extensional possibility of the topic of the exercise conception is to be demonstrated and interested male and female colleagues shall be encouraged to develop their creative potential.
