--- Quote from: "Oscar" ---The outcome of any research is depending of who is paying the bill for this research.

That is no reason to discard it entirely, you just need to keep in mind that there could be a bias.
Troll Control:
--- Quote from: "Guest" ---This is the second time TheWho has made this comment. Interestingly, in both instances, he mentioned the money first, then the child. Very revealing indeed. This is the way he thinks: money first. Hence, he has a dead kid. The checks were clearing, so all was good. Now Mike is dead because of his father's actions.
If Mike was stack of money being controlled by others, Reuben would have made sure he came home right away. But Reuben, lacking normal human emotions, just sat at home with his favorite adopted son, the Geico Money Stack, and forgot about Mike. And Max, too, but that's another story.

Yep, sad but true. Aspen sees only dollar signs just like their pimps (TheWho, John Reuben). It is indeed very revealing that in two comments TheWho stressed the importance of the money over the child. It's a window into his twisted world view.

--- Quote from: "Guest" ---Social conflict and aggressive behaviors decrease. Reduction of these self-defeating behaviors continues post-graduation, with greatest improvement shown at the 12-month follow-up assessment.
These results suggest that Aspen Education Group's wilderness therapy programs are teaching important emotion regulation skills, as well as providing a climate for adolescents to rehearse newly acquired strategies to manage negative emotions such as worry, sadness, and anger. Overall findings provide considerable support for the use of wilderness therapy programs in treating resistant adolescents.

There was hint that the results for kids with depression was "off the charts". Meaning the activity that programs offer seems to be just the thing for kids suffering from depression. There was a study in the early 1990's which suggested this but I never saw any outcome.
This is encouraging. Thanks for finding the thread,I thought it was lost.
