| Annotation | This guest editorial explores the concept of decisional capacity, or the ability to make one's own decisions. The authors propose a practical model for supported decision making, which is inclusionary and founded in ethical and human rights frameworks. They discuss how the ethical concept of autonomy has evolved during past decades and how changing views on autonomy relate to support in decision making. (JL). |
