Treating Children Maximally: Practical Applications.

Treating Children Maximally: Practical Applications. J Clin Ethics. 2019;30(3):171-182 Authors: Howe EG Abstract Lainie Friedman Ross suggests that clinicians increase our efforts to meet children's most basic needs in several ways. These include prioritizing, to a greater extent, children's present and future feelings; placing greater decisional weight on other family members' needs; spotting earlier threats from surrogate decision makers so that we can better prevent these threatened harms; and finding ways to intervene earlier so that we can allow parental surrogate decision makers to remain in this role. I offer some practical ways in which Ross's ideas might be applied. PMID: 31573959 [PubMed - in process]
