The criminal court trial confronts jurors with an intense human experience, marked by the violence of the crimes judged and the symbolic weight of their role. This ordeal can trigger subjective destabilization and strong defense mechanisms. A psychological debriefing, led by clinicians outside the court, offers a safe space for speech and reflection. It supports a more humane justice, attentive to those who judge as much as to what is judged.
