Since many of these publications have been written in German, and most of these publications in the field of anthropology are not included in major, English language abstracting services, Anthropological Abstracts (AA) offers an opportunity and convenient source of information for scholars who do not read German, to become aware of socio-cultural anthropological research and publications in German-speaking countries. Included are journal articles, monographs, edited volumes, exhibition catalogs, yearbooks, etc. Occasionally, publications in English, or French, are included as well if the publisher is less well-known internationally and if it is likely that such publications will not be noticed abroad. Additionally, a printed version of Anthropological Abstracts is published with Lit Publishers, Muenster, Germany. Some technical remarks This reference journal uses a flexible approach: While publications are represented in the form of abstracts in most cases, for edited volumes the Current Contents method is applied, i.e. only authors and titles appear. So technically, this is a combined approach of an Abstracting Reference Journal and the Current Contents method of listing names and titles only. Abstracts supplied by authors are marked by ## before and after the abstract. Due to space limitations they may be abbreviated. Up to three editors of an anthology will be listed; if there are more, only the first will appear (added by ‚et al.’). Only those papers in journals will be abstracted that are relevant to cultural/social anthropology - which mainly applies in the case of interdisciplinary, or predominantly sociological journals. AA also tries to cover subjects related to, or influencing, anthropology, i.e. if texts are relevant for present discourses. Thus, there may be material from history, folklore studies, linguistics, sociology, philosophy, etc., if there is an intersection with present debates in anthropology. Keywords serve as an "abstract of the abstract" - for a quick assessment of the contents. Page numbers in the Subject Index refer to the page where the Keywords listings appear. The Subject Index – consisting of the Keywords of abstracts in alphabetical order – do not follow the Thesaurus principle but are chosen rather loosely and generously, according to need, and there is no strict formal rule or ‚normalization’ to limit their number. In many cases, Subject Index terms try to be specific rather than general, in order to reduce the time of searching. Thus, if there is a topic relating to ‚history’, it will be specified: like ‚history (Guinea)’, or ‚history and literacy’, so that users do not have to check all ‚history’ entries. Regarding alphabetical order, the German Umlaut (ä, ö, ü) will be broken up into ae, oe, ue in the text, but is disregarded in the indexes. The publishers, museums and research institutions must be thanked for their generally prompt deliveries of the books requested for Anthropological Abstracts.

Curare 34.2011:165-172 Keywords: doctor-patient relationship, e-health, telemedicine, power and empower- ment, empowerment (patients), partnership technology, medical anthropology ##In medicine, technology may on the one hand support certain economic and political structures, such as dependency of remote local health centers on large clinics in cities. On the other hand, telemedicine and e-health as tools of increasing the circulation of knowledge and information have the opposite effect on the level of the doctor-patient relationship. Thus, they can empower the patients by democratizing knowledge that used to be exclusive to doctors, by forming strong social online networks and by enabling patients to be more involved in communication and decision making with regards to their health and treatment.## ALLEMANN-GHIONDA, CRISTINA & WOLF-DIETRICH BUKOW (Eds.)
