Recenzje

'This book is an important reminder of the need to blend theoretical and grounded methodologies in evaluating and developing legal responses to impaired capacity. The powerful personal narratives underpin an elegantly constructed argument in favour of a relational approach while at the same time recognising the unavoidable complexities in delivering this.' Mary Donnelly, Cork University
