This comprehensive reference delves into the complex process of medical decision making―both the nuts-and-bolts access and insurance issues that guide choices and the cognitive and affective factors that can make patients decide against their best interests. Wide-ranging coverage offers a robust evidence base for understanding decision making across the lifespan, among family members, in the context of evolving healthcare systems, and in the face of life-changing diagnosis. The section on applied decision making reviews the effectiveness of decision-making tools in healthcare, featuring real-world examples and guidelines for tailored communications with patients. Throughout, contributors spotlight the practical importance of the field and the pressing need to strengthen health decision-making skills on both sides of the clinician/client dyad.
Among the Handbook’s topics:
From laboratory to clinic and back: connecting neuroeconomic and clinical measures of decision-making dysfunctions.
Strategies to promote the maintenance of behavior change: moving from theoretical principles to practices.
Shared decision making and the patient-provider relationship.
Overcoming the many pitfalls of communicating risk.
