I am not trying to start an argument...I just would like to know what makes you so confident in knowing everything that you put up on these boards...if you aren't there to see or experience it first hand. You seem intelligent enough not to believe every line of b.s. that gets thrown at you"

If you're talking to me, I can say with certainty what actually goes on there because my contacts (and one of my friends) still work there.
If you think I believe every random story coming from there, I don't. I carefully vet the information I get and check with sources. Keep reading for a while and you'll see. Go back in these threads and see what kind of names I've been called and how I've been labeled a "lying disgruntled ex-employee."
Please take note that every single thing that was deemed "a lie" by HLA supporters has actually been true. This holds for everything from the death of the RCA project to the lawsuits filed against children and former staff. Every single claim I have made has been verified and documented.
Nearly as important as having contacts inside is understanding the philosophy of the program and the attitudes of those who administer it. I seriously doubt that any kid or parent has a grip on what these people are like the way I do. I wrote the policy and procedure manuals for HLA. I understand the thinking behind those policies and procedures, as they were explained to me directly by the founder.
What you have to understand is that the faces have changed, but the program hasn't. It's just administered by new recruits. Therefore the same type of incidents happen again and again, only the names change.
If there's anything specific you'd like to talk about, please ask and I'll do my best not only to explain it, but to explain the thought processes/policies behind it.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply Disfunction Junction...you were the one that I was speaking to.
I am curious if the policy and procedures have changed since you drafted the first one. Also, what position did you hold there?
Thank you for your time

Deborah:
Is there any professional literature, that you are aware of, that would support the notion that denial of or limiting of food is therapeutic?
What genre of psychology did this come from?
How would Skinner analyze this?
Would Erikson go for it?
Are state regulators, who prohibit this, behind the times?
Are programs on the cutting edge- having discovered what it really takes to 'turn a kid around'- and waiting for the masses to catch up?
Any research into this method of modifying behavior?

I know that "on paper" the policies and procedures have changed. It has also been reported by former employees that policy and procedure are rarely followed and in some cases thrown out the window entirely - as in the case of restraints or dealing with suicidal ideation.
I was a member of the counseling staff and unofficially (not a job title) "assistant planning director."
If you'd like to talk further, please get a username and PM me at your convenience. I'll be happy to answer your questions or refer you to someone who can do so. You can still post anonymously here, but you'll need a username for PM's.
