This article examines, from a therapeutic jurisprudence (TJ) perspective, the rights of institutionalized mentally disabled persons to determine whether TJ is compatible with positions advancing civil rights and liberties, and whether lawyers for such individuals should look more closely to TJ as a source of rights. It concludes (a) that despite harsh criticisms of mental disability law reform, most of the important decisions in the areas of involuntary civil commitment, right to treatment, and right to refuse treatment law have a strong TJ component and (b) that TJ analyses may be the appropriate tool to reinvigorate this area of mental disability law.
本文从治疗法学（TJ）的视角审视了被收容的精神残疾人的权利，以确定治疗法学是否与推进公民权利和自由的立场相符，以及这类人的律师是否应更深入地将治疗法学视为权利来源。文章得出结论：（a）尽管对精神残疾法律改革存在严厉批评，但在非自愿民事收容、治疗权和拒绝治疗权法律领域的大多数重要决定都有很强的治疗法学成分；（b）治疗法学分析可能是振兴精神残疾法律这一领域的合适工具。
