Doctors, lawyers and other professionals often need to make an assessment of a person’s mental capacity. This book helps to support these professionals by giving them a fuller understanding of the law in all situations where an assessment of capacity may be needed, clarifying the roles of professionals and providing an aid to communication both between them and with the person being assessed. Some of those situations are covered by the Mental Capacity Act 2005, but some are covered by other tests set down by the law.

Written by experts from a variety of disciplines, Assessment of Mental Capacity combines clarity as to the law with a practical, jargon-free approach to provide guidelines on issues ranging from medical treatment to making a will, sexual decision-making and capacity in the context of the Mental Health Act 1983.

The fifth edition has been updated and expanded to include:
- recent case law, including the first Supreme Court case on the approach to mental capacity in the Mental Capacity Act 2005;
- research-based guidance about complex capacity assessment;
- the changes to be brought in by the Mental Capacity (Amendment) Act 2019; and
- a new chapter on supporting legal capacity taking into account the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
It provides an essential source of guidelines and information, including extracts from Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Code of Practice, and is an indispensable tool for health and legal professionals.
PART I: Introduction;
PART II: Legal principles;
PART III: Legal tests of capacity;
PART IV: Practical aspects of the assessment of mental capacity; Appendices.
Alex Ruck Keene is a barrister at 39 Essex Chambers and a Visiting Professor at King’s College London. He has appeared in cases involving the Mental Capacity Act 2005 at all levels up to and including the Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights. He trains and writes extensively about mental capacity issues.
"Each section is practical and jargon-free, with illuminating caselaw wherever relevant...This book reads well and it is definitely fit for purpose."
British Journal of Hospital Medicine

"An accurate and helpful guide...mental health units or organisations would benefit from having a copy of this book to hand."
Journal of Mental Health

'This up-date is long overdue, and will prove to be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of not only doctors and lawyers, but also those social workers, psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists and others whose work requires them to assess capacity and make 'best interests' decisions.'
Journal of Mental Health Law
