[Between compliance and freedom: the patient's statement].
According to the patient, obtaining a good compliance is related to a good relationship with his practitioner; this relationship is directly connected to being a good listener for the patient, and not only for their symptoms. If the individual motivation is very important at the beginning, it will be itself greatly influenced by the relationship between the practitioner and the patient. It is one of the rare factors with a positive correlation with compliance, that's what almost all of the researches on medical psychology have observed. Once the problem is sumed up, it's the turn to speak for the patient, who explains how he considers compliance.
