Abstract
The author reviews the sociocultural anthropology of medication refusal in relation to "compliance" and examines the social and cultural meaning of medication outside and within treatment. She suggests that these aspects of the medication experience provide the clinician with a deeper and needed understanding of both compliance and drug refusal.Abstract Teaser
