" I was in LA and San Diego for the seminars and the letter writing to the schools has never been a part of this. "

The following link is on the Casa by the Sea official page.  It contains 12 Letters of Appreciation, with several accompanied by pictures of the writers.  All are posed singley in front of a potted plant in a hotel corridor-type setting...pretty obvious it's right after a seminar.  All letter-writers are from California, most from within 100 miles of San Diego.

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck....

I don't know what PURE has up and what it dosen't. I pulled the links off intrepid net, and the dsperate messures sites, both of which I have saved in my favorites, as they often come in useful.

Darlene you wrote:
"It's (attending seminars) not about the program..."

How can you say that?
If it's not about the program, then why are seminars required in order to get out of the program? Why aren't seminars optional? Why are parents "forced" into WWASPs brand of personal growth?

What's the financial arrangement between WWASP and Gilcrease? I've read that Gilcrease designed the seminars specifically for WWASP. If they are for the public, was that a lie?

Why is Gilcrease listed as a defendent in lawsuits against WWASP?

Why do program parents STAFF seminars, collect the letters? Do WWASP parents also receive a fee for referring non-program parents to seminars?
Are non-program parents who wander in off the street, refered to WWASP if they happen to have an "at-risk" teen. Is this part of the arrangement?

And:
"Counselors are confrontational."

Counselor is a professional term that can not be used by persons who do not possess a degree. Are the confrontational "counselors" at WWASP facilities licensed? Are the confrontational "counselors" in the seminars licensed?
Everything I've read indicates that they aren't.

Pretty hefty price tag for non-professional, confrontational "advice".

"The coaching process stimulates clients to seek answers to questions such as:  What do we want to create as a family?"

Family? How do you create anything as a family when one member of the family isn't present, not even available by phone? How do you resolve things with your teen under these conditions? Communication is key in resolution, and seems impossible given you might not speak to your but 2 or 3 times during their sentence.

Re: the Ontological coaching:
Is it divulged to participants that they are participating in a methapysical program? Are the WWASP parents who are forced to attend, made aware of this?
May not matter, but what IF it happened to conflict with their personal or religious belief?

Deborah - To my knowledge parents do not receive any referral fees for the seminars.

You are correct about the use of the title counselor. The seminar facilitators know better than to use that title. To my knowledge, Lou Dozier is the only facilitator with any credentials. She has a masters in psychology.

Darlene, When did your child graduate? How long did it take? Do both of you still attend seminars? If so, have you found them to be helpful? Are they only available in Ca?
