Carlbrook Comparisons?
« on: March 18, 2010, 09:15:28 PM »
Been lingering and reading for a while and don't hear much about Carlbrook.  Can anyone comment on the comparisons between Carlbrook and the old school confrontational emotional growth model that got MBA shut down and cited for abusive practices?  Are there any efforts to report the practices that seems to be going on at Carlbrook?

Carlbrook would appear to have a lot in common with Mount Bachelor Academy. Both of them were heavily influenced by CEDU.

Here are some threads to get you started; despite some duplication of titles, these are all different threads:

Thanks for the all the great information!  Does anyone know if there are any movements to report some of the abusive workshops like the Mount Bachelor grads did?  Are there any Carlbrook grads out there who know of such a plan?  It seems that they are following the same Emotional Growth, workshop, CEDU derived model that shut down Mount Bachelor.  

The parent handbook you posted is fascinating!  How does a family willingly sign on to that?  Especially with the very limited visitation scheduled spelled out like that!?!

Some time ago we started to work on charting the structure of the workshops at CEDU and CEDU-spin off schools.

Here is the CEDU workshop page on the wiki
Here is the Carlbrook workshop page on the wiki.

Our goal is to list exercise by exercise at each school so people can compare how alike they are. We could use some help.

Hello Guys,


 This are the examples of workshop:

Workshops

- See main article Carlbrook Workshops - In order to reach the higher level and earn visits from the family, the detainee has to pass marathon therapy session called workshops. There are 5 workshops based on workshops by the now closed CEDU facilities.

The names of these workshops are Integritas (Integrity), Amicitia (Friendship), Animus (Passion) Teneo: (Tenacity / Perseverence) and Veneratio, (Honor)

Here are a detainees description of each workshop along with some good advice:

Integritas: Honesty

    You're woken up by your student supports, you're on bans with the whole school, eat breakfast, and head over to the workshop room.

    You go in, there's music and your supporting advisers. You assign yourself a Truth (what is true about me), get a workshop journal (I don't believe these are ever read by staff) and then start learning some tools.

    I think we did our heroes in the morning. I believe silver ball is this day. After lunch, I can't really remember what happens....(this was 4 years ago now, almost exactly), and then that night is a group of sorts.

    Peers and staff give you feedback about how you don't live your truth and you're forced to figure out your lie. This can last very late, until after midnight. When everyone is done, you go back to special dorms set up (people are just moved around so all the workshop kids are in the same room)

    Lessons to learn that make this marathon workshop easier to pass:

        *
              o You are what you do, not what you say you do. (If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck.)
              o Silver Ball (Every child is born a shiny silver ball....and then shit happens to it/on it)
              o Pendulum (The more you feel pain, the more you feel joy)
              o Truth (What is fundamentally true about you)
              o Lie (The Main Belief that keeps you from your truth)



Thanks,
