Therapeutic Jurisprudence is legal conscience seeking for a fully-functional system that involves collaboration of sensitized judiciary, academicians and practitioners, working in a congenial environment which collectively facilitates in healing process of the victim. Similar to the principles of Therapeutic Jurisprudence, preventive laws too aims for more humane approach with regard to legal matters. In fact, preventive laws may also be viewed as ‘pro-therapeutic jurisprudence'. In a more comprehensive and treatment oriented legal service system, prevention has to have prominence over healing goals. Laying emphasis on preventive law does not negate the importance of healing objectives set forth by Therapeutic Jurisprudence rather preventive laws supplements to the overall aim of enabling ‘healing power of law'. An ideal system would be wherein preventive laws are implemented effectively and therapeutic jurisprudence works efficiently. This chapter aims to assess the implementation of preventive laws and practicing of therapeutic justice for victims of sexual harassment in New Delhi, India.

This chapter explores the existence of therapeutic jurisprudential approach in the present laws and guidelines that may address sexual harassment in the university campuses in Delhi, India. It has been seen that sexual harassment in the college campuses has often been overlooked as courtship problems between young adults. In this course, the trauma and victimization of women had also been overlooked. This chapter suggests that university campus sexual harassment may be exhaustive and it may include various forms of harassment including physical touching, verbal sexual bullying to even graver offences like molestation. This chapter researches on several forms of sexual harassments which are prevalent in the university campuses and which may defy the existing regulations due to the patriarchal social setup. It further researches on needs of therapeutic jurisprudence to deal with such problems.

While the manifestation of therapeutic jurisprudence in specialty courts such as mental health and drug courts has received attention in the literature, there is little scholarship on the manifestation and function of therapeutic jurisprudence in probation settings. This study examines therapeutic jurisprudence in the context of a HOPE-based probation program called Swift and Certain probation. We observed status hearings and surveyed participants on their perceptions of the program for over 2 years. We found that therapeutic jurisprudence was manifested in the judge’s liberal use of praise during status hearings, which appeared to be an important part of participants’ positive perceptions of him and of procedural justice more generally. It was also manifested, though less directly, in interactions and relationships participants have with their probation officers. We conclude with suggestions for the implementation of therapeutic justice practices in Swift and Certain and similar probation programs.

By taking as a starting point “The Clit List,” a pornographic database that includes porn material addressed to individuals who have experienced sexual harassment(s) and/or assault(s), this essay brings forward the following question: can pornography take the form of a healing process for individuals with a history of sexual violence? In order to provide an answer, alternative uses and aspects of pornography will be explored, with a particular focus on queer, feminist, and ethical porn. Following the contemporary history of pornography, I engage with both Queer Theory by discussing queer feminist approaches to porn, but also Affect Theory by sharing queer feminist approaches to trauma and the potential healing that an (erotic) film can induce in the spectator. More than simply seeking for alternative aspects of porn, this essay accounts for the (re)introduction of pornography as a productive media with a sexual healing possibility.

Background This article deals with the difficulties involved in the healing of emotional problems. It focuses on the homeopathic treatment combined with other therapeutic approaches. Findings In working with emotional problems, homeopathy focuses mainly on the action of the homeopathic medicine. Arguably, it over-relies on the healing power of the medicine and gives less attention to the importance of working dynamically with the patient's emotional problems. This article suggests a more balanced approach that combines between these two facets of the healing process, giving more weight to the role of potencies. Conclusion Emotional healing becomes more plausible when the patient's inner strength attains the level of strength of the disturbance, represented by “level of potency”, which allows the patient to cope with his/her disturbance more successfully.

This chapter reviews the application of therapeutic jurisprudence at a local Magistrates’ Court in England and Wales, specifically in relation to women offenders. Drawing on data from a 2-year research project a case study approach is used to investigate some of the challenges that had arisen within this setting. The cases relating to ten women are explored in depth, revealing much more complex situations than might have been anticipated given the court’s remit of dealing with low-level crimes. The conclusion outlines the importance of a sound theoretical and organisational framework to underpin the operationalisation of such a court, with the need for further development of evidence-based practice and the full integration of gender-sensitive interventions for women defendants.
