sounds like from McGregors philosophy,
PV staff would definetely fall under Theory X rather than Theory Y
Theory X
assumes that workers are basically lazy, error-prone, and extrinsically motivated by money
they need simple tasks, close monitering, and incentives to work harder
Theory Y
assumes that, given challenge and freedom, workers are intrisically motivated to achieve self esteem and to demonstrate their competence and creativity.
hmm just another random but important thought....

Money making ignoramouses is what PV staff is. Obviously they are so oblivious and ignorant as to what professionalism is. They try to speak so highly of themselves, yet their actions are sabotaging them. I wish a psychiatric evaluation could be done on them. The facades they try to put up about being this big shot, immaculate treatment facility, is so obvious to those who can read between the lines, are completely false.
They are immature as well and in a way demented. I mean where do people get off snickering and cackling at those in need of real medical and therapeutic attention. Are their patients just their entertainment? how could any of the staff there "love their job"? unless of course they are sick in their own ways.
Maybe the snickering and crude remarks about their patients is really them transferring their own feelings onto innocent victims of their abuses.
The restraints are how they get out their anger. I mean come on, at the drop of a hat for no reason, boom... their goes a patient onto the floor. The pressure applied is very strong. Its almost as if they are trying to squeeze out their issues going on in their unstable and sick minds. Kind of transference again except on a physical level.
Like the opposite of self mutilation. self mutilation is a way of escaping from dealing with negative emotions. Staff on the other hand, basically in a way, each restraint is like another cut onto their arm.
I know for myself, if I worked one day at Peninsula, or any of these horrid RTCs, I wouldnt be able to live with myself. These people who are the staff there, claim to love their job. What person in their RIGHT mind would love the job they have? I dont know... something just doesnt seem right with that whole issue.
are their lives simply that pathetic? or is their a much deeper issue here?
Like i mentioned briefly before, what ever happened to Personell Psychology?
Personell Psychology for those that do not know, is:
a subfield of industrial organiztional psych. that focuses on employee recruitment, selection, placement, training, appraisal, and development.
sounds like this "psychiatric treatment facility" should work on their own "psychological issues, first starting in their "professinal work enviroment" and second maybe with themselves
just a thought.
I found it.. in the introduction handbook
" Many times parents feel angry, anxious, sad, and even guilty, not sure if they have made the right decision. be prepared that your adolescent is aware of these feelings and either consciously or unconsciously may attempt to arouse feelings of guilt and anxiety. there are some typical ways that adolescents attempt to do this.
The most obvious example of this attempt is the full frontal guilt attack. ""why did you put me here? you do not care about me. If you take me out of here I will do anything, I have realized I was wrong, please give me one more chance. Ill Kill myself if you dont take me out of here"" these attempts directly attack your feelings of guilt, uncertainty, and fear for your child.
The second attempt is more subtle and involves your adolescent misinforming, lying, or telling half truths to raise feelings of guilt and anxiety. Typical examples include: "" My therapist told me it was your fault I am here. The staff does not know what they are doing.""
The third example is an attempt to exploit normal parental concerns regarding an adolescents safety. Examples include;"" they are not feeding me. Staff makes fun of me. My peer is a violent psycho. Compared to other kids here my problems are not that serious""
Do not let these attempts to make you feel guilty work. As long as your child believes that he/she might escape responsibility he or she will not change. Often adolescents are actually terrified of change and their oppositional and defiant behavior is a way of avoiding dealing with the painful aspects of their lives. So of course they are going to continue to try to avoid responsibility and introspection. "
that came straight from the introduction to PV guide given to parents.
sounds to me like a desperate attempt to trun parents against their own children in order to rake in the money for them to wipe their sorry excuse for lifes asses.
Those are pretty powerful lines of manipulation dont you think? sounds like Peninsula themselves are trying to make their pathetic attempts to convince you work for THEIR advantage.
Sounds like uh..what they used to call "Splitting" telling you one thing and them the other.
Staff ridicules you constantly, yet they are telling parents right there in black and white that if their adolescent is telling them this, that it is just an " attempt to directly ATTACK the parents feelings of guilt, uncertainty, and fear for their child."
PV should have learned that they should get their story straight and quit the lies because lies always come back to bite you in the fuckin ass.
PV also states that they cannot admit anyone with an IQ below 85
Sorry but most staff dont seem to be much over that themselves.
They cannot admit anyone who is diagnosed with psychosis.
They are Psychotic for thinking they can get away with this shit
They seem to prey on the vulnerable teens who have issues such as:
---Depression or mood disorder
The approach on this issue seems to be HIGHLY increasing it, also gives staff a reason to laugh if you cry or try to talk about it
---Drug or alcohol abuse
Pudgeboy Pegler fiends these types of issues. I think he gets off on it. The pound by pound perv
---Oppositional beahvior or conduct problems
Defy their bullshit, theyll tie you to a bed
---Effects of traumatic experiences
Ah, this one, they do a great job of making your trauma disappear and bring on a new one. Trauma=PV
---Self endangering or self injurious behavior
They have a great rating of helping increase such behavior
---Out of control behavior and the ability to accept adult authority
Open your mouth, your done.

My admission day to the village, from the beginning i knew i was in for a wild ride. It started with being escorted to the Village. I arrived in Knoxville and had one of those bad gut instinction feelings. I knew before I walked in this was not going to be pleasant. I was taken to the nurses station where I met with a nurse and then was brought up to STU now known as GAAU ((girls admission and assessment unit)). the place in itself is depressing. You walk through the doorways of hell. I was shoved into a metal chair in front of the staffs desk. I signed my life away. when i went to ask a question, i was shut down. then they said that I needed to be strip searched. my immediate reaction was fuck you you pervs. They led me into the bathroom where I had to strip all of my clothing except my underwear. Then they told me to pull my underwear to the side, bend over and cough to see if i was hiding anything in a territory that was private. I was crying and was told to quit being dramatic. I sat my practically naked ass on the cold floor when they told me to stand up, strip completley and take a shower in which the shower stall had half of a shower curtain. they told me it was to moniter me. this shocked me. i had never had anyone monitor my shower time. so i told them to go fuck themselves. with that i guess it infuriated them and two of the staff grabbed me by the arms and led me straight into the time out room. the room was bare. i had seen this shit in the movies but never actually experienced one. little did i know that that would become very familiar. I was told to sit with my back against the wall and not to talk. i needed to think about my actions. i was panic sticken. my anxiety was going through the roof. I threw up all over the floor in there which i was later made to clean up. then they asked me awhile later if i was willing to cooperate. i shrugged my shoulders and they showed me to my cubicle aka my bed. I was told once again to sit up straight with my legs crossed and not to look at anyone. If i could not follow this i would be escorted back to time out.
Well I was exhausted, so i leaned over onto my elbow. Some fat chick who was a patient and apparently one of the "trusted" saw me do this. she asked for permission to confront the new girl for laying down. I was like uh so what?! she was granted permission and she called a group. everyone stood. i was shocked i didnt know these robot patients were able to move. everyone was like a zombie. I didnt stand, for lack of this phenomenon not being explained to me. i was barked at the stand whenever group is called.
she confronted me and said thats all. everyone sat back down simultaneously. Drones i tell you.
Later on, i didnt give a shit so i laid down. fuck that fat bitch.
Staff came over and grabbed me by the arms and escorted me to the time out cubicle this time instead of the room because apparently the room was occupied. I was told to sit there not move and not talk and to stare at the wall of the cubicle. Well after awhile of sitting there, they gave me my meal which i ate on the floor. when i finished eating i stood up to go back to my coffin of a bed. Next thing I knew, I was grabbed, kicked in the back of the knees and fell to the floor. an extremely loud, obnoxious alarm went off. I was panic sticken worse than ever. what the hell is happening??? down on the ground I lay, face down with people sitting on me holding me down. one or two holding my legs, one on each arm, one sitting on my lower back, and one holding my head down when i tried to lift it up to breathe. I thought i was going to die. Felt my lungs collapsing. Still in shock, I vommitted once again. my face shoved back into it. ugh. What seemed like forever, they then picked me up, about 10 people. they carried me like some animal back into the forbidden time out room. i was stripped of my clothes by the staff and then dressed into hospital gowns with old blood stains on them. this is all while still being held down. later on, i was released and sent back to my bed. then there was group. i had to introduce myself and tell why i was in gowns. i had no idea why i was so i made some shit up.
later on there were showers and then some other sort of groups. i was told to make my bed just like every one elses. i didnt know what the standards for intricate bed making were so i made it like i did at home. i was yelled and criticised for that by some 23 year old counselor. finally after other bullshit, we went to sleep. if only i had been aware that bed time was the only semi peaceful time i would experience for the next 6 months.
damn
what a day what a day

Mind control.. its how these fuckers get away with what they do.. first, breaking the barrier of the parents who are worried sick about their troubled teen.. I dream about being able to do something like hacking in to find out when admit request information is made and then quickly send out a packet of info of my own thats not bullshit... Corruption is what is killing this world. Everything is so corrupt now a days... I live in Jersey, so you dont have to explain corruption to me. The whole state and its government here is totally corrupt. All of our tax dollars and homeland security money go to the mafia. The real Tony Sopranos.
Im getting off subject here dont get me started on corruption here either.
Saying right in the handbook sent to parents it says that dont fall into your childs manipulation trap. They are going to tell you how horrible it is here at the Village. They might tell you that other patients are much worse off then they are and that this place is terrible....HMM i find that interesting to put in the Welcome to PV Hell handbook. Take it and shove it farther than anything has ever gone.
People who dont believe in the corruption and manipulation in facilities like this and others, are blind to reality. Of course when they have you speak to former patients parents, they are only going to tell you great things about PV. How much it helped and how it completely turned their childs life around. Im sure those "actors" are paid off well by Covenant Health. All they see in potential victims...cough...i mean patients, are $$$$ dollar signs $$$$
lets see how long we can pull this off they are saying to themselves I am sure.
Like they truly give a shit about the kids there. THey could care less. Its just another 9-5 job. Like look at one counselor whos name I wont mention. She is a counselor at PV and had websites with highly disturbing images on them that she calls her art and expression with photography.
i dont know but if this is someones hobby who is one of the counselors supposed to be helping societys "troubled" youth, then my god.
real smart also to post it up on the internet... it was not hard to find at all.
im not saying that people cant have their own weird fantasies and shit, god knows i do in other ways, but for a PV counselor to post it on the internet is first of all stupid to do for her own sake, proves lack of maturity, shows how well PV looks into who they hire. what ever happened to personell psychology when considering someone for a position? how unprofessinal on their part and also its not like we are talking about hiring someone to work the day shift at a 7-11.
This is supposedly a highly accredited treatment center.
I mean when I was employed at a local medical center, the screening proccess was very specific and difficult to get in to be able to work there. I went through lots of interviews and background checks and personality tests, drug screenings, etc before I was hired. I was just a patient transporter. These people are the ones "caring for" your troubled teens.
Maybe Im old fashioned and believe in carefully screening an individual before hiring them.
Also no one ever seems to want to answer any questions that you may have. It was told to me when I was at PV that every time I was restrained or my medication changed, that my father would be informed about it. I asked him about that and he said they would call once in a blue moon to relay the message.
Like I said before I also requested to report a grievance that I had, which was about my bruises and physical pain. Some lady who I have no idea who she was came and met with me awhile later.
there is no such word in PVs vocabulary such as privacy. It is completely invaded and is taken away from you. For instance and I know this is a nasty subject but it seems important, when you had your period, and you used the bathroom, you had to wrap up your used feminine product and then show it out the stall door before you could flush your toilet. That is just fuckin wrong man.
Our bathroom times were on their terms to and timed. Before you went into the bathroom you had to hold up either one finger for urinating, two fingers for shitting, and some weird hand gesture if you needed to also change your feminie hygiene product. Jeez I dont know but being timed on your time to piss or whatever you needed to do, thats just flat out fucking ridiculous.
you had 1 minute to pee, 2 minutes for #2 and an extra 30 seconds if you needed to change.
god damn.
haha i dont know it just makes me laugh when i think about some of this bullshit because thats what it truly is. BULLSHIT
I think this is enough for the minute, I have to go to the bathroom and I now am so thankful to have the priveledge of not being timed. hahaha
sorry for the grossness but it is important
