If the intimacy of the private conversation between the doctor and his patient cannot be penetrated by any external observer, it remains that historical, social, and cultural factors around this meeting can be examined and contextualized. With this perspective, this publication presents a reflection on the context of the therapeutic relationship in the second part of the 18th century. This study is based on about 1,300 consultations written to Dr. Tissot, famous Swiss physician who practised between 1750 and 1797. Most of these accounts, coming from patients or their lay mediators, show how the authors perceived the figure of the doctor, and their relation to money, time, and space. All of these elements are considered to determine the nature of this relationship.
如果医生与患者之间私密对话的亲密性无法被任何外部观察者洞察，那么围绕此次会面的历史、社会和文化因素仍可被审视并置于情境之中。从这一视角出发，本出版物对18世纪后半叶治疗关系的背景进行了思考。这项研究基于写给著名瑞士医生蒂索博士的约1300份会诊记录，蒂索博士于1750年至1797年间行医。这些记录大多来自患者或他们的非专业调解人，展示了记录者如何看待医生这一角色，以及他们与金钱、时间和空间的关系。所有这些因素都被认为决定了这种关系的性质。
