| Annotation | This issue of Aging & Mental Health includes a special section on the theme, "Assessment and management of competency for older people". Articles reflect US perspectives which may be relevant to other countries: how to assess competency; how the complexity of modern health care makes new demands on competency; and how best to manage situations where competency is compromised. This article introduces the theme, and reviews previous contributions to the literature. (RH). |
