审查目的描述精神健康法庭的宗旨和目标。概述当前有关精神健康法庭的文献。提出我们未来的发展方向。 最近的研究结果虽然并非完美无缺，但精神健康法庭代表了一种创新方法，可以满足我们社会中个人的需求，这些人历来受到司法系统和日益衰弱和稀释的精神保健系统的疏远。新数据表明，精神健康法庭可以有效降低累犯率、减少药物滥用，并降低政府成本。总结虽然早期数据令人鼓舞，但仍需要进一步研究精神健康法庭的功效。特别是，我们需要知道谁（在各个方面）可能从参与精神健康法庭、何种类型以及在什么情况下受益。
Purpose of reviewTo describe the aims and objectives of mental health courts. To give an overview of the current literature devoted to mental health courts. To suggest where we might go in the future.Recent findingsWhile not flawless, mental health courts represent an innovative approach to addressing the needs of individuals within our society who have historically been alienated by both the justice system and the increasingly debilitated and diluted mental healthcare system. New data suggest that mental health courts are efficacious in reducing recidivism rates, reducing substance abuse, and result in reduced costs to governments.SummaryWhile the early data are encouraging, there is still a great need for further study regarding the efficacy of mental health courts. In particular, we need to know who (along a variety of dimensions) is likely to benefit from participation in mental health courts, of what sort, and under what circumstances.
