Réflexions sur la non-observance

Throughout the follow up of a patient suffering from a chronic cutaneous disease, non compliance is rarely avoidable. It is provoked by numerous factors, which have to be looked for in the patient and the doctor, as well, and in the external reality, as in the internal, psychic, reality, both of the patient and the doctor. Being aware of these factors is fundamental for resolving the non compliance conflict. Thus, non compliance can become a chance to seize for avoiding patients' wandering and building a more dynamic, authentic and stronger doctor-patient relationship.
