Abstract
Attempts by clinicians to increase compliance with psychotropic medication are examined critically. The ways in which attempts to increase compliance run counter to the goal of enabling people to make informed choices about their treatment are explored. An alternative approach to understanding why people behave in the way that they do is explored within the framework of health belief models of behaviour developed in relation to physical health and illness.
