'Justifiers' were those who had chosen to modify their 'Justifiers' had chosen not to take drugs as prescribed and justified modifications to regimen by arguing that flexibility won't hurt and strict adherence not necessary, not possible 'Excusers' argued that although they wanted to adhere this was not possible due to side effects, or circumstances Rejecting Accounts 'Unorthodox accounts ' Britten, 1996 172 People giving these accounts more likely to be critical of medication, describe it as unnatural and damaging, be critical of doctors, generally active rather than passive 'Self-help repertoire' Lumme-Sandt et al, 2000 175 People offering these accounts preferred natural remedies, had strong negative views about medication and did not obey doctors regimen on the basis that some flexibility would not hurt and that strict adherence was neither necessary nor possible, and 'excusers' claimed that they wanted to adhere to the regimen, but that various circumstances and adverse effects prevented them from doing so.…”
