Editorial Reviews
Review
“Kapp's annotated list of 617 titles, in 13 sections, focuses on sources that discuss the `identifiable body of law concerned with personal and institutional relationships, implicated by the delivery of health care for the elderly.' This work is meant for health professionals, attorneys, researchers, educators, and advanced students. The succinct yet informative annotations cover references from January 1, 1980, to August 31, 1987. The introduction explains that the titles presented discuss the legal issues of health care for the senior citizen; works devoted only to the ethical aspects are not included. Some of the topical groupings are `Informed consent, truth-telling and mental competency'; `Elder abuse and neglect'; and `Provider regulations and standards of care.' In addition to author and subject indexes, a helpful feature is the `Appendix: notes on sources,' which contains availability information, suggests other sources to consult, and explains the interpretation of legal citations. Highly recommended for upper-division and graduate collections.”–
