Synopsis:
This is a concise guidebook to the assessment of patients' capacities to consent to treatment. It will help clinicians focus on the abilities that are relevant to legal definitions of competence to consent to medical and psychological treatment. With excellent case vignettes, the authors show how the interview process is carried out and offer strategies for responding to patients with limited capacities.
