[The importance of gender in the gynecologist-patient relationship].
One of the focal interest of medical psychology is the quality of doctor-patient relationship. The sex of physician and patient have an important impact on their interaction. From this point of view, the contact of gynaecologist and client has a proper character. The authors review the references of this topic. They list the differences between male and female physicians, they also list the factors which determine the patient's choice of one or an other gynaecologist, finally authors deal with the motivations to become a gynaecologist. Both the male and female gynaecologist apply psychological egodefence mechanisms to elaborate sexual-erotic impulses. The adequate relationship needs a convergent, complementer interaction between doctor and patient. According to observations, patients are more satisfied by the female gynaecologists. Obstetricians have to give up the traditional and rigid view of gender and doctor's role. Balint-groups could help to develop and maintain more adequate doctor-patient relationship.
