The post as well as immediate impact of each war has left a deterrent effect on the women. Psychology of women has been affected immensely as a result of armed conflict. The procedure of rehabilitation and protection of rights women fail to recognize their mental agony. At the same time therapeutic approaches towards the women affected by armed conflicts also tend to show unfavorable results, this could be framed from the comparison of impact and treatment of women affected by armed conflict before and after implementation of therapeutic jurisprudence. While therapeutic jurisprudence or therapeutic treatment is considered to be the most ideal treatment in protecting the psychological wellbeing of a person in the process of law, failure of the same in the case of women affected by armed conflict brings it into the limelight that whether lack of research has led in unsuccessful or failure in therapeutic approach towards women affected by armed conflict in India as the cultures with their customs, habits, and mutual differences vary at greater extent in this case. This research aims in finding out the need of the same. By the virtue of non probability convenience sampling and chi square test it could be found out that there is need for ethnographic research in effective implementation of therapeutic approach towards women affected by armed conflict. The recommendation put forth by the study is that research strategies such as the SWOT analysis and action determinants need to used for the better implementation of the same.
