Individuals with psychiatric disabilities identify choice and self-direction as central elements of recovery. During times of psychiatric crisis people may experience a frightening loss of choice and self-direction, which can be damaging and traumatic. Psychiatric advance directives (PADs) are legal documents created to address this loss of autonomy and choice during crises by allowing individuals to communicate in the present wishes for care during a future crisis. This paper examines the ways in which PADs support and can be a tool for recovery and discusses future recovery-oriented directions for PAD research and intervention.
