These articles are helpful and I don’t doubt the need for for learning, but as often happens in social work there are obvious omissions not looking at bigger picture.

1- the article rightly points out different notions of executive function and idea of executive capacity thst have developed. Important to do irrespective of views on validity of the concept of executive capacity and the need to demonstrate the causitive nexus. Such is often in the real of clinical psychologists of whatever background. Unless in a very narrow pathway and in the system hie readily available is such either in community or even in inpatient admission where there may not be clear need? Social work has lots to do but the terrible state of mh and neuro services can’t be overlooked and often presented as window dressing when it should be a national scandal.

2- how do we draw the line and keep ourselves aware of the risk of moving to assumption that impairmemt in executive function automatically means unable to use and weigh info. Really hard stuff and before this the work of alcohol change really made me think about this and whether addiction itself is an impairment that impacts on ability to use and weigh and actually where that line is. Highly complex stuff which seems to still. Be emerging legally and clinically!

Where is the case law here, please? The anorexia example is problematic as it suggests that anyone who has an addiction and denies it could lack mental capacity, but there is no case law to back up such an interpretation. The same could apply to anyone who makes unwise decisions that they are unable to explain. My understanding is that you have to relate the impaired capacity to the unwise decision in order to evidence lack of capacity, such as a lack of awareness of the risk or the consequences of the risk. To simply say that their inability to ‘walk the walk’ shows lack of capacity is going beyond the law as I understand it.

In reply to David.

Use and weigh up – mighty powerful phrase. I am sure many can relate to knowing and doing/saying one thing and doing another -how many of us have told our GPs “oh yes, I don’t smoke, just have a small sherry at Xmas and go to gym everyday LOL

Please can you provide references to the case law? I hear very polarised opinions about the concept executive capacity and am not convinced personally it is helpful. Use and weigh is enough? My concern arises from the way people saying but not doing is a very human habit. I know that in certain circumstances of mental capacity it is relevant but it’s sort of become a bit of a catch all I sort of fear.

The references would be really useful

Thanks

Trauma, and especially when it’s untreated, has a massive impact on the limbic system or executive brain function ~ there’s much more insight needed within the practice guidance before we start to think that we’re all neurobiologists ~ using the language of the neuroscience should initself be tackled and be made more accessible.

For example, traumatic invalidation is and can be masked by external compounding systemic and societal invalidation inherent in, say, patriarchy ~ and more topically being neurotypical ratherthan neuro-diverse ~ it’s about power and how and when it’s used to stop someone’s being themselves warts and all.

Essentially getting a better handle on neuroplasticity is a crucial aspect of getting to grips with what an executive brain function is and does ~ the treatment of trauma and being trauma-informed ain’t simply about the learning but how we adapt to learning differently; behavioural activation is a key aspect of this

Crucially the treatment of trauma most be seen as an iterative and separated aspect of treatment for any other underlying condition ~ it’s a highly skilled aspect of psychotherapy not a substitute for it.

Capacity decisions are peculiar and specific to how trauma tolerances are built up over time, and can change in time and be contextual as well as and not to be confused with the impact of what is known about autistic spectrum disorders.

Treatment for one condition is not treatment for the other ~ compassion based work is a must do.
