Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry
Pulitzer Prize Writer Looking For Book Title Suggestions
Anonymous:
Wanna help this author name his book about residential treatment to be released sometime in the near future? Apparently the guy is sponsoring a contest through the Lon Woodbury website which is predominately pro-program-pro-parent. Guess he hasn't heard of Fornits where alumni of places like Swift River Academy (the TBS where he did his research) are far more likely to be found.

Oops, it's The Academy at Swift River (ASR) where the guy did his research. Sorry for any confusion.

Hmm, couldn't resist the tongue-in-cheek response but it looks like ASR is a therapeutic boarding school, not one of these locked behavior modification facilities where therapy is either not available or only available at an additional charge. Don't know anything about the school so I'm planning to read the book. Should be very interesting given the growing interest in TBS's which I presume are geared specifically for kids struggling with more severe emotional or mental health difficulties. Does anyone have any first-hand experience with this school? I'm curious what they think about the place.
