Right off the top of my head, I might point out that Glasser's Reality Therapy is one of the "psychological developments" that Miller Newton and George Ross used to work up the methodology used at Straight, Inc... It, along with Lloyd McCorkle's Guided Group Interaction (now known as Positive Peer Culture), was among the methodologies used to turn Florida's programs away from the brutal physical coercion practiced in places like Marianna, towards the ultimately equally abusive psychological coercions used as a means of the behavior modification of adolescents.

I've seen Glasser's name in association with so many abusive programs now that I basically see it as yet another red flag, in and of itself. Reality Therapy is mentioned a number of times on fornits; do a search...

I'll research the others a little later tonight, when I have some more time.

Daniel, I'm sure you're reading this right now, aren't you?

This isn't some insane "bash" site. This is not a joke. You are going to send your daughter away to be seriously hurt. If you don't want the details, then God have mercy on you for completely ignoring information that could save her life. If you do want the details, then register an account and start asking for them. We're here. You can talk to us.

I'm not entirely sure she has any time at all.

Some more centered thoughts:

Its been open since 1994 and no one here on fornits has heard of any problems or complaints.  This indicates that it is probably a good program.  If any kids had ever been hurt there it would have been listed here on fornits.  Their staff is clinical and professional.  The school is accredited with several different approaches to learning which will allow each child to find his/her strength.
I don’t see how anyone can state this place is abusive or would hurt anyone.  It will get her off the streets and prepare her for the next step which is a school in the UK of her choice?  (Is that correct?)

So the upside seems to outweigh the downside at this point until we get more information on the place.  Morgan I wouldn’t be too stressed out.  It seems like a big step now but it may be a good fit for you.  Don’t let everyone here scare you too much.

Previous poster can be summarized with this screenshot.

He does damage control for the industry on a regular basis. He's been debunked more times than it's worth counting. And here he is to derail the thread. We really don't know who he is, but the best guess is that he's somebody who let his OWN kid die in a program and is now spending the rest of his life trying to justify it.

Look at your sickness in your footer notes, Pile, and your user name.  Do you think anyone is going to take you seriously and not think you are some kind of a nut.  I am a father and if I came onto fornits for info and saw your homage to death your credibility would be right up there with the guy walking around NYC carrying the "The world is ending" sign.  If you want to communicate with other nuts, you are right on target.  But parents are looking for some balanced discussion and information not your personal vendetta.

Try to keep it civil and on topic please.
