Addressing Family Conflicts When Assessing Capacities -- About the Editor 520 "This 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 based on the guidelines 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: * financial exploitation, * undue influence, * sexual consent, and * medical aid in dying. The author 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"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 650 0 Decision making in old age. 650 0 Medical care|xDecision making. 650 0 Older people|xFunctional assessment. 650 0 Capacity and disability. 650 0 Older people|xPsychological testing. 650 0 Dementia. 650 7 Capacity and disability.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00846210 650 7 Decision making in old age.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01743341 650 7 Dementia.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00890050 650 7 Medical care|xDecision making.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01013788 650 7 Older people|xFunctional assessment.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01199557 650 7 Older people|xPsychological testing.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01199123 700 1 Moye, Jennifer,|eeditor. 710 2 American Psychological Association,|eissuing body. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tAssessing capacities of older adults |dWashington, DC : American Psychological Association, [2020]|z9781433831546|w(DLC) 2019051599 994 C0|bSTJ
