I assume this means that the patient is always to blame if the " brilliant treatment " plan doesn't work.
Seems pretty safe to say that what they mean by active patients is to follow instructions dutifully. It's still very much a unidirectional relationship in which one speaks and the other nods, the only change here is that active patient keeps on nodding after they left.If ‘the patient is to be the agent of change’, the patient has to be empowered to act.
