Peninsula Village Cover Story, Jan, 1997: Locked Down
« on: October 28, 2007, 01:12:26 PM »
Media Pulse, the free weekly in Knoxville, ran a cover story on PV in 1/97, and it's been a bit difficult to find.  All searches came up with nothing, even Metro Pulse archives.  Makes one wonder if a Reputation Defender is at work for PV.

Thanks to archive.org's Wayback machine, here it is.  Keep in mind this was Jan. 1997.


http://web.archive.org/web/199707042000 ... nsula.html



went and saw the cabins. It was like camp, with log cabins. They didn't tell us anything about the STU. That was a big shock. Things started to go down when they put me in a straitjacket. It's called a burrito...I would be in the middle of the floor where everybody could watch me..."

Elizabeth was diagnosed with bipolar disorder--commonly known as manic depression--when she was 7 years old. This diagnosis is somewhat controversial in some segments of the world of mental health care, where some psychiatrists--albeit a dwindling number--insist there is no such thing as bipolar disorder in children. Elizabeth, her family, and her psychiatrist have no doubts about her diagnosis.

In 1994, amid a bout of severe depression, she was having great difficulty relating to her peers, who teased her unmercifully. So the school system, with her mother's consent, made what is called an "educational placement" and enrolled Elizabeth for long-term treatment at Peninsula Village.

The results were disastrous. She spent a little less than two months in the locked building that is the first stop for new patients, who are required to stay there for an extended period before they can move out into the mainstream of the Village's wilderness program. The length of stay in STU varies according to each patient's responsiveness to the rigorous STU regimen.

Patients in the STU have their clothes taken from them, and although they are allowed to write letters home, they cannot receive mail or talk on the telephone with their parents. They are dressed in hospital gowns if they are deemed "elopement risks" or violent. Otherwise, they wear hospital scrub suits until they earn back their street clothes.

Less serious outbursts are handled by attendants who take offenders down to the ground and hold them there. More serious episodes may land patients in a "burrito" (straitjacket) or in five-point restraint--bound limb and torso with leather straps to a bed. Doors are locked, windows are covered, and lights are on 24 hours a day. Patients are escorted to the bathroom.

To prevent kids from forming "anti-therapeutic cliques," patients are not allowed to talk to one another or to make eye contact. Every move is monitored, and they must ask for permission to speak to attendants.

Sherwood believes he knows who Elizabeth is and says he made a mistake admitting her in the first place; that he gave in to the importuning of her mother to allow her into the program. Elizabeth's mother denies this claim, saying her daughter was placed there by the school system.

He says the STU is designed to force patients to work on their own problems and to work together as a group--to become responsible to their peers.

"We offer intense treatment you don't get anywhere else in this nation. This program is for people whose lives are messed up in a major way, on their way to ruining their lives or someone else's. Most of these kids are multiple treatment failures, and when they fail at the Village, they don't have many options left."
Elizabeth never progressed past STU, and was released (actually thrown out of the program) in far worse condition than when she was admitted.

Elizabeth was, and still is, under a psychiatrist's care and was taking medication to control her symptoms. Both she and her mother believe that her downward spiral began when the Village staff (against the advice of her psychiatrist, John Robertson) cut down on her Trilafon, an anti-psychotic drug she had been taking for some time. Journals that Elizabeth's mother kept of conversations with the Village social worker (whose job it was to serve as a liaison to the family because STU patients are not allowed to speak with their parents) show that the Trilafon dosage was cut in half.

Elizabeth, who was threatening to kill herself, was discharged from the Village in handcuffs and transported into town, where Dr. Robertson found a bed for her in the Children and Adolescents Psychiatric Services (CAPS) unit at St. Mary's. She was there for six weeks for treatment-resistant psychotic mania. It is hard for her to remember everything that happened, but she insists she wrote letters home that her mother never received, and that an attendant "busted" her lip during one of her manic episodes.

Marilyn, the mother of a boy who is a successful Village alumnus, says she is glad she didn't know about the STU. Her son was deeply involved with marijuana and alcohol, suffered from depression, and was confrontational with his family. Like Elizabeth, he was placed at the Village by the Knox County School System.

"Most of our good fortune is because we didn't investigate. We didn't know what STU was. He was there for three and a half months--he was rebelling. He hit the carpet a lot. If a child was acting up, they'd push an alarm button and take the child down to the carpet for a count of ten. If that didn't stop it, a doctor would be called in to administer a shot in the buttocks, and they'd be taken to bed to sleep it off for 8 to 10 hours. That blew my daughter away [when she heard about it afterward]. She said 'What are you doing to my brother?'

"But we had been down that road so many times...Finally, he earned a place in a cabin."

Marilyn is so grateful to the staff at the Village that she does volunteer work there. She did art work illustrating Native American themes and gave this interview. She says one of the most important things she has learned is that "If our child happens to relapse, we don't have to relapse with him...And what the Village did was help us re-establish trust."

One former Village employee who worked on the STU says he disapproves of the methods used there.

"I wouldn't want my kid to go there. I would want my child to be in a structure that is more caring. This seems more like prison, or a prisoner of war camp."

This former employee says he was not successful at the Village because his personality was "unsuited" for their program.

"They wanted me to be stern, to use a military-type approach. My approach is more caring, to help the patients along. I didn't have that in me...One thing that really bothered me was that the patients were not allowed to speak. They've got to raise their hand, got to be acknowledged by staff, and a lot of times staff would just ignore them. There was a guy who left when I first started--a nice guy. The caring type, didn't last long. They said that doesn't belong here. They want their type of structure..."

Larry Gibney, chief juvenile probation officer of Knox County, says the Village is OK by him.

"I don't have anything bad to say about those folks. They have been a consistent, stable care provider. There have been a dozen other care providers who've come and gone, but they've been there..."

Joshua Williams is the president of the Tennessee Psychological Association as well as former director of Children's Hospital Integrated Psychiatric Services (CHIPS), that shut down last year. He says Peninsula Village "is viewed with ambivalence by mental health professionals. I've been privy to outcomes both positive and not positive."

He says that Sherwood "is licensed, inspected, and accountable to the licensing board for health care facilities. The physicians are accountable and the hospital is accountable. That doesn't make it [treatment in the STU] less repugnant. I work under the premise that civil rights are inviolate. Food, shelter, basic safety--humiliation is not therapeutic, in my view. If you describe those conditions to me, I would say that's sadistic."

Sherwood reacts sharply:

"I'll tell you what's sadistic--to take someone whose life is going down the toilet and let them go."
Amy and her friend Claire are a little older than Elizabeth and do not share Elizabeth's negative feelings about Peninsula Village. It's the first week after the holidays, and they have returned for a visit. Amy is attending a community college back home in North Carolina; Claire, who says she was pregnant and addicted to crack cocaine when she became a patient at the Village, is preparing to go off for her freshman year at the University of Maine. They are both glad to be back.

Amy fingers the silver buffalo medallion around her neck, signifying her great progress and her contributions to the other girls at the Village.

Claire wants to work here as a counselor one day. She, too, thinks the Village salvaged her life.

"I was into some deep stuff," she says.

The two Village alums are joined for a walk in the woods on this unseasonably warm January day by two soon-to-be-discharged Village residents, Emily and Jennifer. As they crunch through the dead leaves, all four point out things they built--a porch on the Village schoolhouse, a greenhouse.

They are proud. Emily and Jennifer say they're a little scared to be thinking about leaving, but like Claire and Amy, they are looking forward to the future. Jennifer wants to be a doctor; Claire a civil engineer; Amy a landscape designer; Emily an architect (it is probably not a coincidence that the program at the Village includes lots of digging, hammering, and sawing). They are all clear-eyed and friendly.

Jennifer gets teased, in a friendly way, for her sharp New Jersey accent. She says she has been in eight prior treatment programs and that she is at the Village because of her mother.

"My mom is very dedicated to me. She was going to send me to a treatment program in California, but then she found out about this one. This is the best in the country."

When the girls hear about Elizabeth's experiences in the STU, they recall their own stays there.

"STU gets you back to earth because when you come here, you're so stuck up," says Amy.

"I spent four and a half months there, but at the end, I didn't want to leave STU," Claire chimes in.

Jennifer, who spent a relatively brief six weeks in STU, has mixed feelings.

"When I first came here, I was absolutely defiant. I showed up at STU with a cigarette."

But she goes on to elaborate: "STU wasn't all good," she tells her friends. "There was a lot of not hearing what I had to say. I'd had surgery, and they didn't believe me when I said there were calisthenics I couldn't do. In a way, I don't blame them, because I lied so much. But I wouldn't be where I am now without STU."

She says she misses her family, "But I'm really afraid I'll mess up when I leave."

As the girls talk about their lives, a group of patients from a boys' group troop by, steadfastly staring at the ground.

The contrast between Elizabeth's story and those of the other four girls couldn't be starker.

One observation is, however, easy to make. Amy, Claire, Emily, Jennifer, and the unnamed boy were all serious substance abusers with problems that, though severe, were not uncommon to similarly situated young people. They, and probably their families, obviously believe they have benefited from the rigorous discipline and the 12-step philosophy at the Village.

Elizabeth was not a user of alcohol or illegal drugs. Her problems stemmed from a medical condition over which she had little control, and it broke her when her medication was reduced at the same time she was placed in a tough new environment and separated from her mother.

Sherwood says Elizabeth's is an isolated case.

"The Village really changes the lives of these kids. It's great to be able to say our program really works, because it does. The thing that makes most of us view it as Camelot is we take these horribly twisted, destroyed people and make them start again. We do something here that's precious."[/i]

Quote from: ""hanzomon4""
::puke::



It certainly does have the too-sweet taste of Koolade coursing through the "success stories":  

"I'm grateful for this place," she says. "I'd be dead if it weren't for it..."  The old "dead or in jail" shtick...

"I spent four and a half months there, but at the end, I didn't want to leave STU," Claire chimes in.  This is a PV cliche - it's drilled into the "show pony" kids paraded out for parents.  It normally goes like this: "They drag us in here kicking and screaming, but at the end we don't want to leave,"

Even PV's administrator Steve Petty spouts it:  "So many of them leave here, and you just can't believe it is the same kid who came in here kicking and screaming," Petty said. ( thedailytimes.com - "Peninsula Village marks 20th anniversary"

This is very telling, my wife and I have seen this still going on:

One observation is, however, easy to make. Amy, Claire, Emily, Jennifer, and the unnamed boy were all serious substance abusers with problems that, though severe, were not uncommon to similarly situated young people. They, and probably their families, obviously believe they have benefited from the rigorous discipline and the 12-step philosophy at the Village.

PV's real "success" stories are created through addiction therapy, the AA ritual of breaking them down.  Staff really push the "we're saving your life" angle.  A well-known adolescent Psychiatrist told me that full-scale addiction in teens is rare, traits are surfacing but addiction takes a long time to fully manifest itself.  A program like PV can still scare the shit out of a non-addict, though, and have a "success".  Is it really a success to scare a kid into AA-12 Step dependency for life?

Where does PV fail?  Anything other than addiction therapy.

Elizabeth was not a user of alcohol or illegal drugs. Her problems stemmed from a medical condition over which she had little control, and it broke her when her medication was reduced at the same time she was placed in a tough new environment and separated from her mother.

My step daughter's antidepressant dosage was ramped-up to a scary level.  She sneaked a mention of the change in dosage into a letter to her mom.  Mom called to ask what was going on, and the next letter said "Surprise!  You call and my dosage gets sharply cut,"

SettleForNothingLess had no substance abuse problem at all, which irritates Bob Pegler, the addiction guru.  Settle refused to admit to any bogus addictions and fought tooth and nail against PV,  which means she got a lot of Thorazine.  In his impotent rage at not finding an addiction in Settle, he accused her of being addicted to the  tranquilizers they shot her up with.  The same thing happened with my step daughter - no addiction, no treatment, all they could do was keep her in isolation, deny her contact with any family member than her father - who was paying the bill.  He was paying for a "service" to be rendered.  In family therapy sessions, the PV therapist gives the kid a "focus" - an objective for the session with the parent.  One "focus" my step daughter was given before a session with her father was especially repugnant to her.  It was simply "Go in there and be his little girl again".  THAT'S the service dad was paying for.

PV's clinicians don't have the skills to treat depression, anorexia, etc., which require serious one-on-one therapy.  Why anyone would put a child suffering from depression into a "sadistic" environment like STU defies logic.  Do they really need to be "broken down"?

Anyway, we've got Vance Sherwood to look into now, the self-proclaimed "designer" of PV's methodology.  Oddly, it appears he didn't get his Ph.D until 1994.  The only mentions of a degree held by him before that date is D. Div. - Doctor of Divinity, which opens up a whole new mess.  Not sure it's the same guy yet.  Sherwood wrote a book called Getting Past Resistance in Psychotherapy with the Out of Control Adolescent, which I'll bet details his "design" at PV.

Sherwood left very shortly after this Metro Pulse piece came out, at the same time a long-term addiction specialist filed bankruptcy and doesn't appear on cached PV clinical staff pages.  It's possible the girl Elizabeth filed a lawsuit against PV, which resulted in the ouster of some key figures.  Betty Bean, the author of the story, is still around Knoxville, I'm going to see if I can contact her.

Back in the day, PV relied on Keith C. Russell's Outcome study:

http://web.archive.org/web/200406291413 ... m?&tsmi=32

Outcomes Study
Peninsula Village recently participated in an independent research study by Keith C. Russell Ph. D., of the University of Idaho's Wilderness Research Center. The study was designed to measure treatment effectiveness in outdoor behavioral healthcare using the Youth Outcome Questionnaire (Y-OQ).

The Y-OQ is an industry accepted outcome instrument designed to measure symptom reduction in therapy.

The study was based upon 858 participants, of which 589 were male and 269 were female. Previous treatment history (indicating possible treatment resistance) was: >57% had prior outpatient treatment, >17% had prior inpatient treatment, and >13% had both prior inpatient and outpatient treatment.

Results The study concluded that participation in outdoor behavioral healthcare resulted in clinically significant reductions in severity of behavioral and emotional symptoms. More than 83% of participants made clinically significant improvement. The average score change for participants as a 51.6 point reduction. A 13-point reduction is considered significant. Almost half (46%) of participants returned toa normal range as a result of treatment. The highest reduction for all age groups based on a parent assessment occurred among 13 year olds.

Study Shows Adolescents Still Doing Well One-Year After Wilderness Treatment In a 12-month follow-up study, students reported a score of 38.61. This 9-point reduction from the score of 47.25 reported at discharge suggests that students not only maintained their outcomes, but had continued to improve after treatment.

More on Vance Sherwood, the designer of Peninsula Village:



http://www.topix.net/forum/city/jacksbo ... UP3PTN1LKQ

I am aware of what happened at Kenneth’s transfer hearing. And I must say, I was shocked to find that the testimony of six experts could be ignored. Six experts said that Kenneth Bartley was rehabilitatable. Ironically the doctor hired by the state to evaluate Kenneth, Vance Sherwood PhD., said that he was not rehabilitatable. He also testified that Kenneth was a Psychopath, a term deemed obsolete by The American Psychiatric Association, and a diagnosis not even recognized in the DSM-IV. Sociopath would be the correct term for this diagnosis. And a child cannot be diagnosed as a Sociopath until the age of 18 y/o, because children’s’ behaviors are constantly changing as they develop. Children who exhibit symptoms of conduct disorder or antisocial behavior are likely to change. And these disorders are reversible in adolescents. One would think that a doctor that is so well respected and revered would know this very common knowledge. Sherwood also testified that Valium and Xanax increased clarity of thought and reasoning. Valium and Xanax are classified as mild tranquilizers. The Psychiatrist (a medical doctor) testified that Vance Sherwood’s statements were in essence absurd and entirely untrue. These types of drugs by their very nature are prescribed to reduce anxiety. They have a calming effect and they impair one’s judgments and reasoning, and to slow motor movement and coordination. Vance Sherwood made a mockery out of the profession of Psychology and he was an embarrassment to the state, and to anyone who remotely knows about mental health. The three other doctor’s that testified proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt as well. Vance Sherwood was the only expert witness to testify that Kenneth was not rehabilitatable and that he was a Psychopath. Ironically, Vance Sherwood authored a book entitled,“Getting Past Resistance with the Out--of-Control Adolescentâ€

Yeah, Vance is a real live wire....



Bartley to stand trial as adult

15-year-old accused in school shooting deemed threat to community

JAMIE SATTERFIELD, [email protected]
Saturday, February 3, 2007


JACKSBORO, Tenn. - A judge Friday rejected the notion of a troubled young man in need of treatment and instead deemed Kenneth Bartley, who is accused of shooting three school officials, a threat to the public.

"We see Mr. Bartley has a significant delinquent record," special Juvenile Court Judge Michael Davis said. "There's an attack on his mother and father, an attack on a neighbor, an attack on a youth who had not paid for drugs he bought from Mr. Bartley and, more recently, an assault at Mountain View (Youth Development Center)."

In Davis' view, the risk to the public is greater than the odds that another stint in the juvenile court system will turn the 15-year-old accused slaying suspect into a productive citizen. With that in mind, Davis ordered Bartley to stand trial as an adult.

Campbell County District Attorney General Paul Phillips said he will take the case against Bartley to a grand jury Monday for consideration of charges, including first-degree murder.

Davis' ruling came after more than two days of testimony, some of which was shielded from public view, related to the Nov. 8, 2005, shooting death of Campbell County Comprehensive High School Assistant Principal Ken Bruce and the wounding of Principal Gary Seale and Assistant Principal Jim Pierce.

According to testimony, Bartley brought a gun to school that day to trade for OxyContin, a powerful painkiller. Campbell County Sheriff's Department Deputy Darrell Mongar has testified that Bartley had taken two pills of Xanax, a prescription sedative, before the shooting and had 10 more in his pocket.

Pierce got a tip that Bartley was armed and summoned the then 14-year-old freshman to his office, where Seale and Bruce joined him.

Pierce testified that Bartley brandished an unloaded gun when Pierce ordered him to turn over the contents of his pocket but grew agitated when Seale also reached for the weapon.

When Seale asked Bartley if the gun was real, Pierce said Bartley responded: "I'll show you. I never liked you anyway."

Bartley then withdrew an ammunition clip from his other pocket, loaded it into the gun and opened fire, Pierce and Seale have testified.

Davis' decision to send the boy to the adult court system did not turn on Bartley's actions that day, however. Instead, the real debate was over Bartley's mental state and the likelihood that he could be rehabilitated within the juvenile court system.

Phillips argued that the juvenile system had tried and failed, primarily because of Bartley's own resistance.

Last month, officials at the Mountain View Youth Development Center found a homemade knife, known as a "shank," in Bartley's room, Phillips said. Bartley boasted "that he bucked the system" and had made threats against staff, the prosecutor alleged. Phillips said the teenager also has proved manipulative.

"He said, 'Oh, I just did that to be thrown out of that unit,' " Phillips said.

Bartley had a chance at treatment at Kingswood Academy, where he had been sent before the fatal shooting.

"He told the folks at Kingswood he would do whatever necessary including violence to leave this institution," Phillips said. "He's the one that escaped from Kingswood."

The prosecutor reminded the judge of Bartley's deliberate actions in Pierce's office.

"This conduct is way too serious," he said. "The record of this juvenile is way too ominous. The safety of this community is way too important. This defendant has to be constrained."

Defense attorney Mike Hatmaker countered that Phillips could only produce one witness - Dr. Vance Sherwood - to support the theory that Bartley was a dangerous offender unlikely to change.

Hatmaker questioned the validity of that assessment, noting that Sherwood characterized Bartley "as a psychopath, a diagnosis not even recognized by the DSM," referring to the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" published by the American Psychiatric Association.

"If you want to take (Sherwood's) word, then you transfer him," Hatmaker said. "If you don't want to transfer him, you have the testimony of seven people, five of whom were called by the state, (who all say) he's treatable as a juvenile. That's the question. Is he treatable as a juvenile? Yes, he is, overwhelmingly. Treat him as a juvenile."


Friday's ruling puts the fatal school shooting case right back where it was just a few months ago. Bartley had agreed to have his case handled in adult court but backed out when community members became upset over the possibility of a plea deal.

If convicted of first-degree murder in adult court, Bartley would face a minimum 51-year prison term.

Jamie Satterfield may be reached at 865-342-6308. J. MILES CARY/NEWS SENTINEL Rita Vannoy, left, and Helen Broyles, Kenneth Bartley's grandmother, wait for the decision on Bartley's fate on Friday in Morgan County Juvenile Court.

I'm going to send this one around the Internet at the right time and prove the answer is "yes" to the first question and "no" to the second. :)

I'm going to send this one around the Internet at the right time and prove the answer is "yes" to the first question and "no" to the second. :)


Let's not forget Andrew Klepper, the PV patient convicted as an adult for sodomizing a whore with a baseball bat, a magic marker, etc., then threatening to kill her after robbing her.  He was prime PV material, huh?  PSYCHO-BOY!  They tried to rehabilitate him...he recently got busted again with some whore, and the cops found some illin' videos in his house....A freaky fucker is a freaky fucker, nothing on earth gonna change that.
