Sommario/riassunto

Informed consent - as an ethical ideal and legal doctrine - has been the source of much concern to clinicians. Drawing on a diverse set of backgrounds and two decades of research in clinical settings, the authors - a lawyer, a physician, a social scientist and a philosopher - help clinicians understand and cope with their legal obligations and show how the proper handling of informed consent can improve, rather than impede, patient care.
