This volume joins other recently published works on the ethical and
legal considerations of life-sustaining treatments. Sherlock and
Dingus focus on medical decision making involving children and
incompetent adults, and the issue of how these decisions should be
made. Discussion begins with the various meanings of family and the
psychosocial issues in family involvement. The authors explore
differences in decision making for the incompetent adult and for
the child, and consider the pros and cons of family decision making
as well as alternative decision making methods. They argue for an
ethics committee review of selected difficult cases. The use of
relevant cases to depict the legal aspects involved in medical
decision making for children and incompetent adults helps clarify
the issues involved. . . . A valuable reference for graduate or
professional collections. Choice Written by a specialist in medical
ethics and a practicing medical psychologist, this book is a
comprehensive review of the complex issues involved in family
decisionmaking in medicine. Although much has been written about
the treatment of seriously ill patients, little has been written
about those involved in the complicated decisionmaking process for
incompetent patients. This volume, therefore, fills an important
gap in the literature. In addition to treating general issues in
ethics and psychology, the authors also address the realities of
actual clinical decisionmaking, setting their work apart from more
traditional studies of medical ethics.
