»Wir riefen Gastarbeiter, und es kamen Menschen.« Mit Sätzen wie diesem griff Max Frisch immer wieder in das öffentliche Leben der Schweiz ein. Als politischer Intellektueller war er auch in anderen Ländern ein gefragter Gesprächspartner: Er diskutierte mit Henry Kissinger über den Krieg in Vietnam, war 1977 in der Nacht, in der die »Landshut« gestürmt wurde, bei Helmut Schmidt in Bonn. Dem Citoyen, dem engagierten Bürger Max Frisch hat Matthias von Gunten sein Porträt gewidmet. Zu Wort kommt, neben Kissinger und Schmidt sowie Schriftstellerkollegen wie Christa Wolf, Günter Grass und Peter Bichsel, auch der Autor Max Frisch selbst – seine Tagebucheinträge und Reden werden gelesen von Reto Hänny. »Solche Stimmen fehlen heute in der Schweiz«, sagte von Gunten dazu der Neuen Zürcher Zeitung. Man möchte ergänzen: und anderswo.

For this very reason, good healthpromoting and medical care is especially important. Communication diffculties with patients and specialist staff make the necessary examinations and treatments more diffcult and can result in critical situations that are avoidable. If patients can be provided with explanations that are in line with their capabilities, then the level of anxiety and stress is reduced for all concerned. The treatment success rate increases. This largeformat book includes materials that explain about illnesses, examination and treatment methods in language that is easy to understand. The materials can help medical, treatment and educational personnel with their everyday work. They promote dialogue with relatives and people with learning diffculties, contribute to informed decisionmaking and strengthen patient rights.
