Dependence and autonomy in old age : an ethical framework for long-term care

In this influential book, George Agich abandons comfortable abstractions to reveal the concrete threats to personal autonomy in long-term care. His book therefore offers a framework for carers to develop an ethic of long-term care within the complex environment in which many dependent and aged people find themselves.

  • "Respecting the autonomy of disabled people is an important ethical issue for providers of long-term care. In this influential book, George Agich abandons comfortable abstractions to reveal the concrete threats to personal autonomy in this setting, where ethical conflict, dilemma and tragedy are inescapable. He argues that liberal accounts of autonomy and individual rights are insufficient, and offers an account of autonomy that matches the realities of long-term care. The book therefore offers a framework for carers to develop an ethic of long-term care within the complex environment in which many dependent and aged people find themselves. Previously published as Autonomy and Long-term Care, this revised edition, in paperback for the first time, takes account of recent work and develops the author's views of what autonomy means in the real world. It will have wide appeal among bioethicists and health care professionals."
  • "Offers an account of autonomy matching the realities of long-term care and offers a framework for caregivers to develop an ethic of long-term care where aged people can feel comfortable. Compares and contrasts the theory of autonomy versus actual autonomy."
