The Therapists are CEDU employees now and have been for the last several years. Cedu hasn't don the consultation in several years. Each campus has a group of terapists.

i'm on this board almost 10 years after being at Ascent for 6 weeks. it was a total mind-fuck. why else would we be seeking this out after all this time? because it was the worst place in the world. i have a great life now, "even though" my parents only made me go to Ascent, and i still have nightmares about the shit that went on there. i have nightmares that i am a teenager again and my parents send me back. i am 25 years old now, and that place still plagues my mind.
Cody-when were you at Ascent? if that is really one of your names, then i think you were in my course group. just curious.....

I must have missed this post. Thank you so much for telling the truth about CEDU and how therapists are treated. We must have been at the same school. I was blown out of BCA because I told the truth at parent conferences, took the side of kids, and chastized staff for diagnoses.
There is some interestimg research on diagnoses.
Severl studies found no relationship between diagnoses and therapeutic results - even if done by professionals.
The fact is, DSM has no value whatsoever except to justify billing to insurance.
What is effective are the elements common to all good therapy - a motovated client with resources to change, a good and powerful relationship with the client/family, and expection that therapy willl work.
What elements are present at CEDU - Just "client factors." Conclusion, The kid changes in spite of the program. He or she grows uo over 1 to 2 years in spite of the program.
Finally these programs are damaging and you tend to see relapse after a few months. Kids leaving program have low social skills - yelling etc. learnerd from staff, flashbacks, panic attacks and PTSD all hiding under a facade, a false self, implanted by the program - in this case - CEDU.
Search Institute for the Study of Therapeutic Change (ISTC). Search in site for "Stale Baloney" and find "What works with Teens". For a complete summary of the research over the last 40 years on therapy outcome see "Escape From Babel." (Miller, Duncan and Hubble, 1997).
Thanks for your exact testamony. I was there and I saw it all. This Therapist is telling the exact and precise truth.

Who are all these anonymous staff posting? As far as I am concerned there were three staff that genuinely cared about the kids at BCA.
