provider willing to help and holds pt accountable for solution
enlightenment model
pt responsible for problem but not responsible for solution
provider sympathy for pt problems and pt education
less education and less willingness to help due to causing problem
medical model
patient not causing problem or responsible for solution
pt education less valued, provider sympathy for pt and provider responsible for solution so pt education not needed

medical and enlightenment see pt not responsible for solution so they do less education vs other two
