Review :
"This particular and unique text expands on a conference held to train mental health professionals about assessments and interventions for decision-making capacity. What has emerged is a book that will benefit mental health professionals and clinicians with limited experience in assessing such capacity. Specifically, the content improves understanding of the complex and multidimensional issues within decision-making capacity; describes how to conduct evaluations of individuals with cognitive impairment; details possible interventions that can help maintain an individual's independence; and describes the intersection these evaluations might have within the legal system. Given the myriad issues that may arise in a capacity evaluation, Changes in Decision-Making Capacity in Older Adults: Assessment and Intervention effectively provides general principles and guidelines that will allow health professionals to implement well-constructed assessments and reasonable interventions—to effectively collaborate with families, clinicians, and professionals within the legal system addressing the broad range of questions related to decision-making capacity." (Journal of American Medical Association, February 18, 2009)
