    The Noncompliant Patient In Search of Autonomy.Peter Conrad - 1987 - Hastings Center Report 17 (4):15-17.

But many chronically ill people view their behavior differently, as a matter of self‐regulation. In this light noncompliance supports people's desires for independence and autonomy, desires that align closely with the therapeutic goals of caregivers.
