AbstractThis book demonstrates how to address practical and ethical challenges when evaluating capacities of older adults with neurocognitive disorders, like dementia. The contributors are expert clinicians who draw upon real-life experiences conducting clinical capacity assessments in civil matters, illustrating best practices from the ABA/APA's "Assessment of Older Adults with Diminished Capacity: A Handbook for Psychologists." Chapters cover complex and difficult issues in careful detail, including: (1) financial exploitation; (2) undue influence; (3) sexual consent; and (4) medical aid in dying. The editor also provides guidance for negotiating family conflicts, working with surrogate decision-makers who also have diminished capacity, coordinating with medical and legal professionals, and addressing other situations that involve multiple stakeholders with competing priorities. A recurring theme throughout the volume is the challenge of balancing a client's right to autonomy, while also protecting them from harm. The book offers careful, effective advice for keeping clients who lack decision-making capacity involved in their healthcare choices and working to maintain their independence when daily living skills are impaired. [For "Assessment of Older Adults with Diminished Capacity: A Handbook for Psychologists," see ED606381.] (As Provided).
