Description

Judging in a Therapeutic Key: Therapeutic Jurisprudence and the Courts Bruce J. Winick ISBN 9780890894088

Part I of this book examines the rise of problem-solving courts—such as drug treatment courts, domestic violence courts, and mental health courts—along with related approaches to judging that emphasize problem solving and an explicit ethic of care. Winick and Wexler demonstrate how therapeutic jurisprudence can be applied not only in specialized courts, but also across general civil and criminal proceedings.

Part II explores the emerging principles of therapeutic jurisprudence evident in effective judicial practices. These include strategies for promoting offender rehabilitation, fostering problem-solving and coping skills, improving compliance with release conditions, and enhancing courts’ roles as effective managers of risk, among other practical applications.
