I was a pateint at Provo Canyon School in the early 80?s and it was a very controlled environment, ruthless. They are the ones lying and manipulating. You cannot change a person by controlling them and putting them in isolation, and standing ips for goodness sake, I am now in my 30?s and have lower back pain, and trust issues, how can you trust when people take advantage and lie to you, and leave you alone for so long, it was insane the confusion and feelings of hate and anger they aroused ,they didn?t help, they harmed , and it should be stopped. I have never been able to talk about this to my parents, and I still remember walking down that hall and not knowing that was happening, as they surely manipulated my mom as she sat there staring at me as I left, I cannot remember when I saw her, but the phone calls were monitored and all that I have read is true , although I did not witness severe physical abuse, but harsh treatment , the steroid men throwing you down on the floor, like we can hurt them anyway, and the isolation and the cries, I cried for a year, what my mom was told is it is manipulation,it was all terrible, and it has got to stop!!!!
