Cite your sources please....and that doesn't mean this article. Please show me where clinical studies have been done to show that this is beneficial.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." C.S. Lewis

Show us where it was stated clinical studies were conducted, then we can track down the source. I went back and reread the posts and I think you were mistaken. Most of us have been referencing the OP article.

Man sentenced in assault case
LITCHFIELD, Conn. -- The president of a private school in western Massachusetts was sentenced today to three years probation and ordered to make $50,000 charitable donation in the case involving a teen-age student who said he sexually assaulted her in 1993 at his Connecticut home. Thomas Bratter, the 55-year-old founder of the John Dewey Academy in Great Barrington, was sentenced in Litchfield Superior Court and also ordered to serve 500 hours of community service. Bratter, of Salisbury, Conn. had pleaded no contest to second-degree unlawful restraint. The John Dewey Academy is a school for at-risk adolescents.

That was 15 years ago!! Things change over time.
just look at the articles on Straight and Synanon from the 1960's compared to how they fell about the now.

:D Did things change, or did Bratter? Neither. I base that on "anecdotal data". ;D

Opponents of "attack therapy" do not under-stand is that confrontation has proven effective
Where's the proof?
