Therapeutic jurisprudence is the study of the law's healing potential (Wexler & Winick, 1996; Wexler & Winick, 1991; Winick, 2005; Winick, 1997b). An interdisciplinary approach to legal scholarship that has a law reform agenda, therapeutic jurisprudence seeks to assess the therapeutic and counter-therapeutic consequences of the law and how it is applied, as well as to increase the former and diminish the latter. This book chapter discusses how therapeutic jurisprudence contributes to the functioning of drug treatment courts.

This article describes how therapeutic jurisprudence, and the therapeutic jurisprudence/preventive law model, can be imported into legal education and practice. Although the approach can (and does) find application in a broad spectrum of legal areas, the present article focuses on the criminal law clinic and on training future criminal lawyers with an expanded professional role: one that explicitly adds an ethic of care and considerations of rehabilitation. As such, it brings an interdisciplinary perspective into clinics and law practice, with particular emphasis on insights and techniques drawn from psychology, criminology, and social work. The article explores a therapeutic jurisprudence framework for thinking about criminal law competencies, and illustrates the explicit use of the expanded professional role in the area of sentencing, in juvenile parole revocation proceedings, and in a tribal reentry court project.

In this volume, Professors Wexler and Winick suggest that the law itself can be seen to function as a therapist or therapeutic agent. Legal rules, legal procedures, and the roles of lawyers and judges may be viewed as social forces that sometimes produce therapeutic or antitherapeutic consequences. The authors propose that these consequences be assessed and, within important limits set by principles of justice, suggest that the law be designed to serve more effectively as a therapeutic agent. "Essays in Therapeutic Jurisprudence" sets forth the theory of therapeutic jurisprudence and provides a number of concrete applications of this new and highly interdisciplinary approach to the law and mental health field.

... These specialized courts seek to address the root cause of criminal behavior rather than superficially dealing with a symptom of some deep underlying issue (Reiksts, 2008). Based on the principles of both Therapeutic Jurisprudence and Restorative Justice, these new court systems shed the traditional adversarial court model in favor of a more rehabilitative approach to justice (Schneider, Bloom, & Heerema, 2007;Wexler & Winick, 1992;Winick, Wexler, & Dauer, 1999). Due to the limited existence of these courts in Canada in comparison with the United States, the focus for the purposes of the present article will be on three specific kinds of problem-solving courts: community, mental health and drug courts. ...

... Louis M. Brown was the first to mention the concept in academic circles via his book Preventive Law in 1950 [24]. Up to 1997, Preventive Law (see Definition 1) was understood as a branch of law that endeavours to minimise the risk of litigation or to secure more certainty regarding legal rights and duties [32,33]. During that period, researchers took into consideration the proactive parameters and the reinforcing parameters (i.e., the strengthening of legal rights and duties) of preventive law [24]. ...

... In preventive lawyering, the lawyer examines expected future legal risks and builds, with the client, a legal strategy that will reduce those risks. The lawyer achieves this by carrying out a regular 'legal check-up' (Stolle and Wexler, 1997). The lawyer interviews the client supported by an array of questions that surveys primary life domains and, based on this knowledge, builds with the client a legal strategy for treating present as well as potential future legal problems. ...

... ongoing behavior), and the message is presented by a credible source who offers a way of effectively avoiding the threatened consequences of the behavior. Without satisfying these requirements, fear-arousing messages are likely to produce no change or, in the worst case scenarios, iatrogenic effects as a result of message rejection, possibly brought about by source derogation or psychological reactance (Brehm, 2000). ...

... En este sentido, la TJ se encarga de estudiar los efectos terapéuticos o antiterapéuticos de la ley; es terapéutica cuando produce bienestar en las personas (Wexler, 2000). En el aspecto legal se consideran los efectos de las leyes, los procesos legales y los roles y conductas, actores o participantes legales (por ejemplo: cómo el actuar de un juez pudiera producir beneficio o daño en las personas que intervienen en el proceso judicial) (Wexler, 2020). Wexler (2020) propone dos tipos de desarrollos de la TJ: uno es en la elaboración de las leyes y otro en su aplicación. ...

... Применяя правовые нормы и процедуры, работники судебной системы (т. е. адвокаты и судьи) опосредованно оказывают влияние, терапевтическое или нетерапевтическое, на обвиняемых по уголовным делам, с которыми они взаимодействуют (Wexler, 1993;Winick, 1997). Одной из целей терапевтической юриспруденции является изучение этого влияния, чтобы определить, возможно ли усилить терапевтический эффект и уменьшить антитерапевтические последствия, не нарушая конституционные нормы надлежащего судопроизводства (Winick, 1997). ...

Esta perspectiva requiere, como proponen Lynch y Perlin (2021), convocando a Brookbanks (2001), transformar el pensamiento ético respecto el papel que deben desempeñar la ley y los profesionales (Bulgado-Benavides et al., 2024). A este respecto, los padres de la TJ, Winick y Wexler (2007) precisaron que la Justicia Terapéutica apoya una ética del cuidado (Perlin, 2017). ...

... Winick and Wexler theorised that the law and its associated legal rules, procedures and roles have adverse therapeutic and anti-therapeutic effects on people, whether they are intentional or not, "know it or not, like it or not" (Wexler 2000: 3). The two professors began to investigate how we can apply the law "therapeutically", in a way that enhances emotional wellbeing and promotes positive, humane and rehabilitative outcomes (Winick and Wexler, 2002;Perlin, 2018;Wexler and Winick, 2010;Wexler and Winick, 1991;Wexler and Winick, 1993;Wexler and Winick, 1999;Hora 2002). ...
