David L. Marcus has been a foreign correspondent and education reporter
for U.S. News & World Report, the Boston Globe, Miami Herald, and Dallas
Morning News, where he shared a Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles on
violence against women around the world. Marcus also was a Nieman Fellow at
Harvard. After a twenty-four year career in journalism, he spent a year as
a high school teacher at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts.
About the Book
A Pulitzer Prize-winning writer untangles the mysteries of the
teenage mind as he witnesses troubled kids transformed by fourteen
months at a school that offers therapy for adolescents in
crisis.
To find answers, Marcus gained unfettered access to students, staff,
and parents at the Academy at Swift River in the hills of western
Massachusetts. The kids at Swift River had already ventured down a
number of perilous paths all parents fear their own children might
take – drug use, violence, theft, internet addictions, eating disorders,
promiscuity. Known for combining intensive academics, a wilderness
program and group therapy, the school helps troubled teenagers emotional
health.
He focuses on four remarkable kids who run the demographic gamut:
--a Southern girl whose privileges cannot save her from sinking into
drug abuse and unsafe sex;
--the self-destructive son of teachers grappling with his anger about
being adopted;
--a black kid from a tough New York neighborhood who is silenced by
consuming depression;
--a once high-achieving Florida girl "broken" by the death of her mother.
Anonymous:
What Whooter fails to mention is that of the 4 kids followed thru ASR one killed himself immediately after the program and the other three relapsed into drug abuse with one girl being involved in a fatal alcohol-related motor vehicle accident.
ASR = 100% failure rate + 25% death rate.
Funny how this part keeps getting left out, huh?
Also funny is that Marcus does paid 'workshops' for Aspen, too. Not exactly honest reportage from TheWho.

When you get past the spin from Aspen, these statistics are stunning. 1 of 4 dead. 3 of remaining 3 relapsed. 1 of remaining 3 kills an innocent while operating a motor vehicle drunk.
ASPEN turns kids into STATISTICS.
