I have enjoyed reading Buchanan's paper very much. It is clear, thoughtful and contains much valuable information. As I read it, I began to think it would make a good foundation for a short factual leaflet for carers. However, they are unlikely to read it in its present form, since many would find the scientific style and wording hard going. Words such as compliance, drugs and intrusive have connotations and need to be used with care by professionals. The National Schizophrenia Fellowship uses the term adherence instead of compliance.
