Evaluation of capacity to consent to treatment and research

"This book addresses the assessment of an individual's competency to consent to medical treatment and using the template will look at the history and importance of this process, the legal standards and the procedure for applying this assessment in court. Established empirical foundations from the behavioral, social, and medical sciences are then presented. Finally, the book provides a detailed 'how-to' for practitioners, including information on data collection, interpretation, report writing and expert testimony"--Provided by publisher.
