Abstract:
Nonpsychotic chronic patients are troublesome not only because of their psychosocial dysfunction, cognitive and affective impairments, and behavioral problems but also because they fail to meet the expectations of health care providers. All of these conditions can cause problems of interactive fit between these patients and their clinicians.
