Abstract
The article deals with one of the least studied moral and ethical problems – the behavior of the patient in relation to the doctor and medical staff. It is shown that the subjective moral and psychological qualities of the patient are of crucial importance. Such an important factor determining the patient's behavior as the motivations that guide him is analyzed. The moral and ethical qualities of the patient necessary for the harmonization of the patient-doctor relationship are highlighted. Long-term empirical observations in the system of patient-doctor relationships allow us to substantiate the conclusions that the nature of the connections between them is mediated by the goals they are guided by; that the patient's behavior depends on the level of his spirituality, his moral and ethical qualities, interests, values; that the harmonization of doctor-patient relations is ensured not only by the fact that that the doctor "should", but also by what the patient "should", i.e. by joint efforts.
