Recenzje

'Camillia Kong's book, Mental Capacity in Relationship, is an important contribution to debates over mental capacity. It combines philosophical, psychological and legal materials in an effective and stimulating discussion of the topic. It is particularly timely given the debates over the nature of the capacity in light of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It is an excellent, sophisticated, analysis of the issues.' Jonathan Herring, Legal Studies
