The therapeutic relationship and adherence to antipsychotic medication in schizophrenia.

<h4>Objective</h4>Previous research has shown that a better therapeutic relationship (TR) predicts more positive attitudes towards antipsychotic medication, but did not address whether it is also linked with actual adherence. This study investigated whether the TR is associated with adhe...
