Abstract
This paper presents an analysis, from a philosophical point of view, of three psychological models describing how one adopts a health behaviour. More specifically, this analysis makes it possible to explain the role of habit in therapeutic adherence. By clarifying the notions of intention and decision, this novel analysis may be useful for understanding the dynamics of diabetes care.Keywords
