Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry
What about "Carlbrook School"?
Whooter:
Thanks Free_Speech, I think it is great that the students are forming these alumni groups. This gives the kids a chance to reunite with each other and air any beefs they had with the school and to also be able to talk about the good times. It also gives the schools/programs some insight into any areas which they could improve upon. So this acts as a great feed back system.
I have noticed this is happening spontaneously more and more with many Therapeutic Boarding schools. It’s a plus for those regulars here on fornits because it exposes any potential abuse that might have occurred and can potentially put to bed (or expose) any allegations of wide spread abuse in specific programs.

Riiiiiiiiight. And the fact that "the 'Carlbrook Alumni Association' Facebook group has removed students' permission to post on the wall" should tell you something about just how "open" Carlbrook is to constructive criticism.

Depends on what they were banned for: flooding? posting porno? Maybe they set up specific forum rules that were not adhered to. We would need to take a look at the reasons before judging that.
But that aside I think we can agree that the open dialog is a plus for everyone. Its a very positive and encouraging step.

It looks like just a couple of links posted challenging Carlbrooks use of aggressive group therapy got the wall shut down. It was initially deleted and there was a response asking why.. it was 4 or 5 posts that were very simple... and then the wall was gone.
Now... here's what the facebook group says:
Description:This is a private group restricted to Carlbrook faculty and student alumni. It is intended as a forum for open discussion, support, feedback and general updates. Welcome.
notice... feedback. maybe not so much?

Thanks Cooltherapy, Thats how it should be and I think it is good that they are reaching out for open discussion and feed back. I think we all know that sometimes the discussion can get personal and facebook groups dont have the personnel to delete or move posts which run off topic to different areas or easily deal with posts which are intended to hurt others.
I have seen a few other facebook groups which are doing the same thing and aside from a few posters intent to disrupt the group and feedback is working out well.
Hopefully they will rethink the rules and how they go about accepting people and then reopen the wall to discussion.
