It is argued that the equating of respect for patient autonomy with\nphysician noninterference fails to take into account the constraints which\nillness imposes on the patient's ability to make choices. These constraints\nare psychological and social as well as physical and cognitive. The\ntherapeutic relationship, accordingly, entails a moral responsibility to\nrestore autonomous functioning by helping the patient deal with such\nimpediments. (KIE abstract)
