Book excerpt: A sensitive policy analysis of law should seek to measure and weigh all of the costs and benefits of legal rules. This book suggests ways in which mental health law can be reshaped -- not only to protect the legal rights of patients, but also to improve their mental health. "[A] lesson on where and how to focus the therapeutic jurisprudence lens so that the concept generates original and fruitful ideas." -- Thomas Grisso, Ph.D., University of Massachusetts, Department of Psychiatry "[The chapters] demonstrate that therapeutic jurisprudence provides a remarkable number of new insights into mental disability law... Litigators, scholars, policy makers, and mental disability professionals all owe Professor Winick a tremendous debt for the thoughtful, original, and provocative work that he has done." -- Michael L. Perlin, New York Law School "For novices in the field, it is an exciting view of a difficult corner of the law. For those who have spent their careers in the area, this work is both eye-opening and rejuvenating." -- Christopher Slobogin, University of Florida College of Law

Download or read book Court of Last Resort written by Carol A. B. Warren and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1984-08 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Court of Last Resort looks at decision making in a mental-health court and at the dilemmas of treating mental illness while protecting patients' legal rights. Carol Warren spent seven years studying hearings in a large California court where people who had been involuntarily committed to institutions for psychiatric treatment could petition for their release. In this book she confronts questions of whether mental illness is real or only a label for societal control, whether the government should be involved in committing the deviant to institutions, and how the interaction of judges, psychiatrists, families, police, and other individuals and agencies affect the court's administration of mental-health law. Though the cases in this book fall under California's Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, Warren's analysis of conflicts between legal and medical models of behavior is of national and international importance both to sociologists and to the many professionals who work at the juncture of mental health and the law.

Download or read book Examining the Application of the Principles of Therapeutic Jurisprudence in a Mental Health Court written by Anne M. Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapeutic jurisprudence is commonly cited as the theoretical foundation for a range of specialized problem solving courts, including Mental Health Courts (MHCs). However, studies to date have failed to explicitly examine how MHCs apply the principles of therapeutic jurisprudence. Moreover, an extensive review of the literature failed to locate a single-sourced consolidation of these principles (a “model”), which in turn, has imposed a barrier to the rigorous examination of how MHCs have applied the theory. To address both circumstances, the present study first conducted an extensive review of the literature to extract three overarching principles of therapeutic jurisprudence, including: 1) Therapeutic jurisprudence promotes supports and services in line with rehabilitation and reintegration; 2) Therapeutic jurisprudence promotes therapeutic rules and procedures over those considered anti-therapeutic; and 3) Therapeutic jurisprudence promotes therapeutic interactions over those considered anti-therapeutic. The researcher then reviewed the literature to extract indicators of how each principle is applied in a MHC setting. These principles and associated indicators were consolidated into a “MHC Model”. This Model serves as an original contribution to the literature, and is suitable for use as a rubric in examining how the principles of therapeutic jurisprudence have been applied. Guided by the MHC Model, the researcher then sought to determine how a specific MHC applies the identified principles of therapeutic jurisprudence. Data were collected through the researcher's observation of the court and through interviews with ten subjects whose involvement covers the spectrum of services and functions provided by this MHC. Observations of the researcher and data obtained from respondents were compared to the MHC Model to establish the degree of consistency. The findings suggest that the court applied the first and second principles of therapeutic jurisprudence in a manner that is weakly consistent with the literature. The court's application of the third principle is essentially congruent with the literature, and is therefore considered highly consistent. These findings shed light on the reality that MHCs may face constraints beyond their control that prevent rigorous application of therapeutic jurisprudence principles in line with the ideal reflected in the literature. In light of these findings, the study has been able to develop recommendations for stronger alignment with the principles, which the court might consider adopting in order to improve its functioning and, potentially, outcomes. Further, this study highlights the need for future research to consider how MHCs might best apply the principles of therapeutic jurisprudence in less than ideal circumstances.
Download or read book A Therapeutic Jurisprudence Approach to Dealing with Coercion in the Mental Health System written by Bruce J. Winick and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article describes the approach of therapeutic jurisprudence, an interdisciplinary form of legal scholarship that has a law reform agenda. It then illustrates the approach by applying it to the question of when coercion might be appropriate in the area of involuntary psychiatric hospitalization and treatment, and when appropriate, how clinicians, judges, and lawyers should act so as to minimize coercion's potentially antitherapeutic effects and maximize the therapeutic potential of law in this area. The article considers areas of psychological research involving the relative effectiveness of coercion and voluntary choice in the area of hospitalization and treatment, and on what makes patients feel coerced in these contexts. The article seeks to reshape legal rules and legal and clinical practices relating to involuntary hospitalization and treatment to reflect a therapeutic jurisprudence orientation.
