Giving a person a bunch of rules and telling them they're fired from therapy if they fail to comply isn't all that helpful IMO.

I agree wtih this. The system of mental health care in this country is setting people up for failure. If you have someone who is paranoid about meds or being poisoned, that's not their fault if they are scared to take the meds. So this type of tactic is only going to make them feel more scared. It's not helpful.
I agree about everyone needs to learn to be responsible for their care, but you catch more flies with honey, if you know what I mean.
