Therapeutic Jurisprudence

Therapeutic Jurisprudence is an approach to law that focuses on the psychological well-being of individuals involved in legal processes. It emphasizes how legal rules, procedures, and decisions can impact mental health and emotional outcomes. Instead of viewing law solely as a system of rules and penalties, this perspective considers how legal interventions can promote healing, support recovery, and improve the lives of those affected. The goal is to create a legal system that is not just punitive but also restorative, fostering positive outcomes for individuals and communities.
