"Dr. F. Dean Vause is the Executive Director of the Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre (AARC), a long-term, intensive treatment program for severely addicted youth and their families. AARC is the culmination of Dr. Vause's 20 years of research into adolescent addiction. His research took him to treatment centres throughout North America.

Dr. Vause started his career in high schools, where he taught, counselled and developed programs to help youth in the education system. His Masters dissertation "A School Drug Program", and his Ph.D. Program, "Adolescent Substance Use Disorders", focus on both a model and facility for adolescent drug treatment. He has provided many Teacher In-service presentations on the subject of drug use in schools in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia and parts of the United States, and has provided numerous workshops for many other community organizations.

Dr. Vause is considered to be a leading expert in the field of adolescent addiction, and his advice is sought by other professionals. He is the recipient of the Rotary International "Paul Harris Fellowship", the highest honour in Rotary. Other awards include Calgary Citizen of the Year award and the Alberta Centennial Medal."

Where to start?

1. The Wiz has stated in no uncertain terms to the College of Alberta Psychologists that AARC does not provide treatment.
2. The Wiz has not done twenty years of research into adolescent addiction.  He has been running AARC for almost twenty years.  Before that he worked for Miller Newton at Kids, and before that he was a guidance counselor.
3. The statement about his "Ph.D. Program" is meaningless. His Union Institute degree was given to him while he was already running AARC.  His "Project Demonstrating Excellence" was written about AARC, and involved no clinical research.  AARC was a development of kids that was renamed.
4. The Wiz is not considered to be a leading expert in the field of adolescent addiction by anyone other than AARC parents, staff, clients, a handfull of politicians and donors.  he has never had a paper published in any recognized journal, and has never participated in any independent study in the field.
5.The Rotary Club coughed up half ofthe original $1.2 million used to set up Kids.  They are complicit in the crime.

The good Dr. Winters will no longer accept my emails.  His last message stated that he received no speaker fee.  I'm thinking vacay in the Caymans.

"Dr. Winters is a consultant to many organizations, including the Hazelden Foundation, National Institute on Drug Abuse, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, The Partnership at Drugfree.org, World Health Organization, and the Mentor Foundation (an international drug abuse prevention organization)."

This makes  much more sense now.  The Wiz is going all the way back to the Straight well, font of his powers as leader of an illegal thought reform program.
