Terapeutiset

Terapeutiset is Finnish an adjective form meaning related to therapy or therapeutic in nature. It is used to describe objects, interventions, or effects that aim to promote health and well-being. The term is commonly applied to plural nouns, such as terapuettiset menetelmät, terapeutiset vaikutukset, and terapeutiset ohjelmat.

In practice, terapeuttiset concepts appear across healthcare, psychology, rehabilitation, and education. The word signals an intended therapeutic purpose or effect, rather than making claims about scientific efficacy. It often appears in clinical descriptions, program names, and research discussions where the focus is on healing, rehabilitation, or wellbeing.

Etymology: the term is formed from Finnish words related to therapy and the noun for a practitioner, with the standard adjective suffix -inen. Consequently, the singular form is typically terapeuttinen (or terapeutinen in some usages), and terapeutiset is its plural nominative form. Related terms include terapia (therapy) and terapeutti (therapist). The exact spelling can vary slightly in different sources, but the meaning remains consistent as describing therapy-related or therapeutically oriented concepts.
