Resumen
ZARAGOZA-MARTI, María Francisca; JULIA-SANCHIS, Rocío y GARCIA-SANJUAN, Sofía. Advance Directives as an ethic-legal planning tool in a mental health context. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2020, n.49, pp.25-40. Epub 19-Oct-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.
The doctor-patient relations are undergoing a process of change and evolution towards a more humane approach, based on the principle of autonomy , with the aim of respecting the rights of patients and not just imposing the will of the phyisician. Advance Directives, as an extension of Informed Consent documents, can further safeguard such rights. Despite its international and national regulation, in certain contexts, such as mental health, the hegemonic-paternalistic model persists, and the authors question the underlying motive.
Palabras clave : patient autonomy; hegemonic paradigm; advance directives; bioethics; human rights; mental health.
