Résumé

Les concepts de compétence, d'autonomie et d'authenticité sont examinés. Diverses définitions du terme « autonomie » sont distinguées, et les auteurs prétendent que deux d'entre elles n'englobent aucun concept différent de la compétence mentale (la capacité de prendre des décisions) et de l'authenticité. L'accent est mis sur la distinction des questions de capacité et de compétence, et sur des cas où une intervention salutaire est justifiée.
