Programs In Behrens Study Charged with Abuse
Troll Control:
--- Quote from: "Dysfunction Junction" ---We all know about Mount Bachelor Academy's recent closure due to child abuse and neglect and that Aspen Education has claimed in court that it provides no therapy.
MBA was one of the programs that was studied in Behrens' work. The fact that MBA was closed for abusing children and that Behrens concluded MBA was "effective" despite offering no therapy and abusing hundreds of children is terribly troubling to say the least.
Here's a list of the all of the programs she looked at:
Academy at Swift River, Aspen Ranch, Copper Canyon Academy, Mount Bachelor Academy, Stone Mountain School, Pine Ridge Academy, SunHawk Academy,Turnabout Ranch, and Youth Care, Inc.
Academy at Swift River has been cited by state authorities for child abuse.
How many of the others have been as well? Are there any untainted entities in this study?

--- Quote from: "Troll Control" ---The marketing campaign is polished, it just lies about the study results.
And the study clearly states that the length of stay has no effect on the outcome. The obvious conclusion is if the results are the same, keep the stay as short as possible and the cost as low as possible. It's a stunning find by Behrens that there's no diference in outcome for kids who left early against program advice and kids who stayed for the full program. Kinda blows holes in the whole "kids who don't finish the program fail" theory, huh? You've said that many times.

Aspen didn't like the results of "phase two" showing marked and rapid deterioration of ex-attendees, so they never published it.
Not to mention that several of the "schools" studied were closed for abusing kids. Aspen's marketing team suggests that abusing kids is "helpful" and it "improves" the children.
Google "Behrens study" and see what comes up.

Just a reminder that this "study" has been debunked already.
Anne Bonney:
Yes, it has......quite handily.
Whooter:
I dont believe people outside fornits agree with you. The study still stands and has been accepted by the APA.
Lets take another look for those first time readers:
Residential Treatment Outcome-Study
Just getting more people to read the study, gain more knowledge about the industry, is a big step for all of us.
