Moral Challenge of Alzheimer Disease

Stephen Post argues that maintaining the emotional and relational well-being of those with dementia depends on the caregivers who see dignity even in those severely affected by this kind of condition. He addresses specific ethical issues of interest to health care professionals, families, and affected individuals--including topics such as diagnostic disclosure, restrictions on driving privileges, the extension of autonomy through advance directives, behavior control, quality of life in relation to treatment limitations, hospice care, and euthanasia.Post, Stephen G. is the author of 'Moral Challenge of Alzheimer Disease' with ISBN 9780801851742 and ISBN 0801851742.
