Sammanfattning
Health problems in female patients often confuse the general practitioner. A consultation technique designed to improve the exploration of illness based on the women's own "medical" language is described. The results indicate that this may be an effective tool in the consultation. Mobilizing the women's own resources seems to improve the doctor's insight in her illness and the outcome of the consultation.
