AbstractThe Patient Self-Determination Act became federal law in 1990. However, many psychiatric facilities are just beginning to actively address the issue of medical advance directives. The term advance directives, for the purposes of this article, refers exclusively to medical advance directives. Psychiatric advance directives, which are related to issues such as involuntary hospitalization, are beyond the scope of this article.
