AnnotationRespecting the autonomy of frail and disabled older people is an important ethical issue for providers of long-term care. Previously published as "Autonomy and long-term care" by OUP in 1993, this revised edition takes account of work since then. The author develops his views of what autonomy means in the real world, that it should not be equated with independence, particularly in the context of long-term care. (RH).
