I was real glad to hear from you since I had seen your name and
paper on the program for the conference in Seattle, but didn't know how to
contact you. I would
really appreciate it if you would send me a copy of your paper. I would be
glad to reimburse you any costs, or perhaps you could send it
electronically with your E-Mail. Let me know what would work best for
you.
> The problem I am trying to resolve through this research is to find
some means to deal with the denial issue with psychiatric patients. I am
thinking that the way the patients construct their illness may provide some
clues as to how to work with them
in a more collaborative way, so as to enhance their ability to manage their
disease.
I'm curious about your comment about the issue of medication compliance not
being
useful in understanding their experience of their illness. Maybe we are
coming at this from different directions. Please send more. If it would
help, I can send a couple of pages of my proposal to you..
Looking forward to your response,
Rob
