The outline of this chapter is as follows. In section 2 we provide a further definition of
PTs, and present some possibilities that PTs offer for the smart correctional rehabilitation of
criminal offenders. Next, in section 3, we briefly discuss the right to mental liberty and the
extent to which this right is guaranteed by existing European human rights. In section 4, we
discuss three considerations that should be relevant in specifying human rights protection
against smart rehabilitation. Subsequently, in section 5 we explore whether the use of PTs in
the context of smart rehabilitation would infringe an appropriately specified legal right to
mental liberty. We suggest that, in this context, it might be difficult to identify compelling
distinctions between novel forms of smart rehabilitation and more traditional criminal legal
interventions, such as the imposition of a prison sentence or a psychological treatment
program
