From the Afterword by Frank A. Cervo, MD,
Long Island State Veterans Home,
Stony Brook University School of Medicine
Detailed case studies will guide practitioners through Bush's "Four A's" of ethical decision-making:
- Anticipating and preparing for ethical issues commonly encountered in specific contexts
- Avoiding ethical misconduct
- Addressing ethical challenges with specific strategies and goals
- Aspiring to even higher standards of ethical decision making and practice
Making informed, ethical decisions and choosing the right course of action with elderly patients can prove difficult for mental health practitioners. This is especially true when patients suffer from Alzheimer's disease or other disorders that impair their own decision-making abilities. When confronting dilemmas concerning privacy, informed consent, and patient autonomy, use of an ethical decision-making model is essential.
In this book, Bush not only presents this practical, 10-step model, but through a diverse collection of case studies, also demonstrates how it can be implemented across numerous therapeutic settings. Nursing, social work, counseling, and psychiatry are only four of the many settings discussed. In essence, the author offers a truly unique, interdisciplinary approach to ethical decision-making in geriatric mental health care."

Bush's book provides an original decision-making model that practitioners can use when confronted with these types of ethical challenges. The casebook format will engage readers with interesting vignettes and illustrate ethical decision making with realistic cases. This is the most up-to-date book of its kind and serve as a vital resource for health care providers in numerous fields. As of 2004, 36.3 million Americans were age 65 or older, representing 12.4% of the population. It is estimated that by the year 2030, there will be over 70 million Americans 65 or older, representing 20% of the population. Such an increase will surely lead to a compensurate increase in the number of older adults treated by mental health professionals. Because older adults often experience decline in the ability to make decisions and care for themselves, particularly in cases such as Alzheimer's disease, mental health care providers will be faced with unique ethical dilemmas. Bush's book provides an original decision-making model that practitioners can use when confronted with these types of ethical challenges. The casebook format will engage readers with interesting vignettes and illustrate ethical decision making with realistic cases. It will be the most up-to-date book of its kind and serve as a vital resource for health care providers in numerous fields.
