520    Incompetency is loss of the ability to make, and act on, 
       your own decisions and with the aging of North America's 
       population, it is increasingly widespread. It can happen 
       to anyone and many people want to plan for its possibility
       in order to ensure their own care and protection. 
       Incompetency can cause great, but often avoidable, 
       suffering and emotional anguish to those afflicted by it, 
       as well as the relatives and friends who care for them. 
       People in health care, financial services, and law must 
       deal with clients whose competency in some, or all, 
       matters can be questioned. Addressing the needs of 
       incompetent people, or planning for its possibility, 
       requires knowledge about what incompetency is, how to 
       recognize and react to it, and what kinds of professional 
       advice to seek. This book is a practical, focused guide to
       thinking about incompetency, as useful to the layman as to
       those who perform, or refer clients to, competency 
       assessments. Addressing the needs of incompetent people, 
       or planning for its possibility, requires knowledge about 
       what incompetency is, how to recognize and react to it, 
       and what kinds of professional advice to seek. This book 
       is a practical, focused guide to thinking about 
       incompetency, as useful to the layman as to those who 
       perform, or refer clients to, competency assessments. 
       Michel Silberfeld, a doctor, and Arthur Fish, a lawyer, 
       draw on their experience at a competency clinic, citing 
       fictional but realistic case studies and offering many 
       concrete examples. The clinic is multidisciplinary and 
       founded on the principle that competency is not simply a 
       medical or legal concept, but rather a complex phenomenon 
       that has medical, social, legal, and ethical dimensions. 
       Silberfeld and Fish follow the same principle in the 
       advice they offer. There are fundamental problems 
       associated with incompetency and many similarities among 
       the laws and social policies that apply to incompetent 
       people in North America. This book is not a substitute for
       qualified professional help but it is a practical guide to
       thinking about incompetency, based on the premise that the
       best source of personal empowerment is knowledge and 
       understanding.
