Issue 169: Kielstein; Kutzer; May; Sass: Die Patientenverfügung in der ärztlichen Praxis. April 2006

 
Papers presented at a Symposium at the Duesseldorf MEDICA discuss clinical-ethical, legal, organizational and conceptual issues of Advance Directives and Durable Powers of Attorney. Rita Kielstein calls for counseling and advice by physicians prior to executing Advance Di-rectives and for the use of narrative material in preparing lay people to make medical deci-sions in advance. Supreme Court Justice Kutzer analyses the legal framework and suggests new legislation in order to support individual decision making and to reduce legal uncertainty. Arnd T. May calls for improved education and continuing education of physicians and per-sonal representatives. Included are ‘Standards for Counseling on Advance Directives’ and models of narrative material for preparation and an Advance Directive form with an inte-grated Durable Power of Attorney.
KEY WORDS: Advance Directive, Durable Power of Attorney, Value History
