A clinical masterpiece. Drs. Grisso and Appelbaum have written a practical, clinical gude to assessing an individual's competence to consent to treatment. Their scholarly reviews and focused clinical vignettes make this volume an essential element of all physicians' personal libraries. --Thomas N. Wise, M.D., Chairman, Department of Psychiatry, Georgetown University<br> .,. an insanely competent exercise in logic and clarity. --The Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices <br> Every few decade comes a book so influential that the history of the entire field is divided into 'before' and 'after'. Assessing Competence to Consent to Treatment is such a book: a clinical, legal, and scientific accomplishment so complete that it will be the odd reader who does not turn the final page and think, 'this is what scholarship should be.' A staggering accomplishment! --John Monahan, Ph.D., Doherty Professor of Law, University of Virginia<br>
