 One problem with this view arises if one considers the fact that some individuals with mental disorder identify with their illness (Erler &amp; Hope 2014). Tan, Hope, and Stewart (2003b) explore the ways that many young women with anorexia see their illness as an essential part of who they are. Yet it is these same values that are influencing their treatment decisions. If we wish to find a way of explaining the deep intuition that these women lack decision-making capacity, then if we do so through appeals to authenticity, we will most likely have to give up on the idea that individuals are themselves the final authority about which values or features of themselves are the authentic ones.
