I find this to be an interesting comparison. I found this on the Diamond Ranch website...where their description seems to put a real pretty spin on Milieu Control.

"1. Milieu Therapy
Milieu (Mill-you) Therapy consists of the entire structure and environment of Diamond Ranch. This includes a token economy and the process of student advancement. It also includes the open ranch setting where students can be outdoors in a beautiful, safe environment. Through milieu therapy, the youth learn the law of the harvest, the consequences of their actions, and basic life and interpersonal skills. In it?s simplicity, milieu therapy is everything Diamond Ranch Academy offers your youth."

Not surprising at all...I'm sure there are numerous examples showing the same stark contrast: Reality v Advertising/blatant misrepresentations. Sad that advertising lies are too frequently accepted as "reality."

Your post was a highly accurate description of Straight as well. No surprise there either. :sad:
