Objective
The research is a multi-disciplinary, multi-location investigation into law, ethics and practice regarding a variety of clinical conditions whose common feature is that they involve an impairment in the capacity of the patient to make decisions for him/herself, including decisions regarding him/her clinical care.
The investigation brings together the insights and perspectives of four distinct academic disciplines, namely clinical medicine, law, Philosophy, and history of medicine/social history.
The proposed extension to east and central European countries will significantly increase: (1) the disciplinary expertise of the CA's consideration of varying conceptual approaches to the meaning of competent consent, the identification of normal and diminished capacities to consent and the evaluation of various disturbances of thought and behaviour as constituting impediments to consent; (2) the social and cultural scope of the CA, affording the possibility a consideration of the evolution of disease and illness terminology in psychiatry and chronic illness in the socio-historical contexts of former communist countries. Together (1) and (2) will enable the CA's final
recommendations to be pertinent with respect to possible future enlargement of the European union.
The extended team of researchers will be integrated into the original CA programme.
