Therapeutic Communities and Enabling Environments

Introduction

MHRJ is pleased to announce a special issue on Therapeutic Communities and Enabling Environments. We welcome submissions on therapeutic communities and enabling environments that critically and creatively explore how therapeutic cultures are developed, managed, and sustained across diverse contexts. 

Topics of Interest

We invite original research, reviews, case studies, organizational studies, and commentaries that examine practice, lived experience, relational practice, and the influence of social and political policy on therapeutic settings. We also encourage opinion pieces and letters that disseminate good practice, share creativity and innovations, and contribute to wider discussions around therapeutic community values and approaches.
