Personally, I would say "troubling," but that may just be my bias re. anything to do with
PPC.
Starr Commonwealth has been around since 1913, but underwent a bit of a sea change, so to speak, in the 1970s or 80s (not sure of the exact date), at which time
Larry Brendtro got involved.
Harry Vorrath and Larry Brendtro are co-authors of
Positive Peer Culture (1974, 1985), which was a re-work and update of Lloyd McCorkle's peer-based group methodology called
Guided Group Interaction (originally developed in the early/mid 1940s for use with imprisoned WW II servicemen in Fort Knox, KY; later adapted for use with delinquent boys at the
Highfields Residential Treatment Center in 1950).
William Glasser's
Reality Therapy is also considered by some to be an offshoot of GGI.
Larry Brendtro is
still involved with Starr Commonwealth via their
Circle of Courage Institute in South Dakota.
Starr Commonwealth also runs the
Montcalm Schools.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
