Geropsychology and Long Term Care
by Erlene Rosowsky Merla Arnold Joseph M. CascianiThe ever-increasing population of older adults residing in nursing homes and long-term care communities, as reflected in numerous demographic studies, point out a clear need for geropsychologists i.e., trained specialists in the field of aging and mental health, to meet the needs of this nation's older adults.

Key outcomes include the provision of high quality psychological services for this important but neglected sector namely, people living in nursing homes, assisted living communities and other LTC settings.

A second audience includes those individuals who may have a leaning towards expanding their professional activities in long-term care and are seeking additional preparation before doing more work with older adults. A third group is comprised of those individuals who are not psychologists, yet have had some training and coursework in aging and mental health.

Gesetzlich nicht normierte ärztliche Auskunfts- und Offenbarungspflichten
by Nikolaus Von BarDieses Buch zeigt auf, wann Ärzte entgegen ihrer Schweigepflicht zur Mitteilung von Patientengeheimnissen verpflichtet sind. Nach derzeit geltender Rechtslage dürfen Ärzte in Einzelfällen ihre Schweigepflicht zum Schutz eines höherwertigen Rechtsgutes brechen. Das zu schützende Rechtsgut muss in der konkreten Situation gegenüber dem allgemeinen Persönlichkeitsrecht des Patienten überwiegen und dem zu schützenden Rechtsgut muss eine Gefahr drohen. Es obliegt grundsätzlich dem einzelnen Arzt darüber zu entscheiden, ob er den drohenden Schaden für das höherwertige Rechtsgut abwendet. Nicht zuletzt nach dem Absturz der Germanwingsmaschine im März 2015 kam die Diskussion darüber auf, ob Ärzte nicht viel häufiger dazu verpflichtet sein sollten, ihre Schweigepflicht zu brechen, um Dritte vor Schäden zu schützen.Der Verfasser dieses Werkes legt verschiedene zivilrechtliche Grundsätze dar, aufgrund derer Ärzten nicht nur das Recht, sondern die Pflicht zukommt, Patientengeheimnisse zu offenbaren. Diese allgemeinen Grundsätze werden an verschiedenen Fallgruppen angewendet. Wann ist ein Arzt beispielsweise dazu verpflichtet, einem Dritten die AIDS-Erkrankung eines Patienten mitzuteilen? War der Arzt des Piloten der abgestürzten Germanwingsmaschine dazu verpflichtet, die Depressionserkrankung des Piloten Dritten mitzuteilen? Haben Eltern ein Recht darauf, von einem Arzt zu erfahren, ob ihre minderjährige Tochter schwanger ist? Können Ärzte dazu verpflichtet sein, Prädispositionen für letale Erbkrankheiten an ihre Patienten zu offenbaren und haben diese ein Recht darauf, einer solchen Mitteilung aus dem Weg zu gehen? Und in welchen Fällen müssen Ärzte Kindern anonymer Samenspender die Identität ihrer biologischen Väter mitteilen? Diese Fragen werden in dem vorliegenden Buch – auch für Mediziner verständlich - beantwortet.
Gesetzliche Ehegattenvertretung in Angelegenheiten der Gesundheitssorge: Eine kritische Untersuchung des § 1358 BGB n. F. (MedR Schriftenreihe Medizinrecht)
by Anna Theresa EschbaumerDieses Buch beinhaltet eine ausführliche und kritische Untersuchung des mit dem Gesetz zur Reform des Vormundschafts- und Betreuungsrechts vom 4.5.2021 neu in das BGB eingeführten gesetzlichen Ehegattenvertretungsrechts in Angelegenheiten der Gesundheitssorge (in Kraft seit 1.1.2023). Basierend auf einer umfangreichen Auslegung der einzelnen Regelungsaspekte des § 1358 BGB n. F. (etwa Anwendungsbereich und Umfang der Befugnisse, aber auch das Verhältnis zu weiteren Rechtsinstituten zur Vertretung in Gesundheitsangelegenheiten) werden konzeptionelle Defizite des § 1358 BGB n. F. herausgearbeitet und damit einhergehende Probleme – rechtlicher als auch praktischer Natur – identifiziert. Weiterhin ist Gegenstand der Untersuchung, ob und inwieweit etwaige Unklarheiten und Schwächen der Neuregelung durch sorgfältige – ggf. verfassungskonform auszugestaltende – Auslegung reparabel sind. Schließlich werden Reaktionsmöglichkeiten des Gesetzgebers zum weiteren Verfahren mit der Norm aufgezeigt. Leserinnen und Leser erhalten einen umfassenden Überblick über das neue Ehegattenvertretungsrecht in dem grundrechtsintensiven Bereich der Gesundheitssorge und werden für die Herausforderungen im Zusammenhang mit der Anwendung des § 1358 BGB n. F. sensibilisiert. Das Buch richtet sich damit nicht nur an die juristische Leserschaft, sondern auch an Rechtsanwenderinnen und -anwender sowie an interessierte von der Neuregelung Betroffene – sowohl auf Behandlungs- als auch auf Patientenseite.
