This article traces changes in the nature of legal scholarship and illustrates how therapeutic jurisprudence reflects changing conceptions of the law and legal scholarship. It argues that therapeutic jurisprudence may be regarded as a mental health law counterpart to „New Public Law,” and shows that questions asked by therapeutic jurisprudence scholars parallel closely those asked by public law scholars.
