• Sommario/riassunto: This resource considers the legal, ethical and assessment issues that arise when forensic mental health professionals are asked to evaluate the capacity of adults to make independent decisions about the management of their personal and financial affairs. As the population ages, the competence of those who are elderly and mentally infirmed may be challenged more and more frequently, and this guide will be an invaluable resource for those involved in assessing that competence.
