The impact of collective representations on a person's health may be considerable. It is worthwhile for those who work in the health services to get acquainted with the representations of their patients and with the world view in which they figure. This is illustrated by an example of a Moroccan in Holland and the application of local beliefs which caused a serious problem for attending doctors.
集体表象对一个人的健康可能会产生相当大的影响。对于那些从事医疗服务工作的人来说，了解他们患者的表象以及这些表象所处的世界观是很有价值的。一个在荷兰的摩洛哥人的例子以及当地信仰的应用给主治医生带来了严重问题，就说明了这一点。
