Description
Capacity and Autonomy by Robert Johns provides essential guidance for social workers on navigating complex issues surrounding capacity. When working with vulnerable individuals, it is crucial to strike a balance between promoting autonomy and safeguarding their interests. This accessible text explores capacity in relation to minors, adults, and mental health, as well as addressing challenging topics such as refusal of treatment and deprivation of liberty. It also examines the various legal mechanisms available for supporting autonomy while protecting people's rights. With innovative features like Key Case Analysis boxes, Practice Focus boxes, and On-The-Spot Questions, this book equips social workers with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions in practice.
