Ah swell - it's our ol' pal the whoolio.
Philabustration ad nauseum.
The administrator's allow you to subvert and divert attention here as you please. Apparently, Fornits needs to tolerate theWho like the Pope needs to tolerate a Croatian prostitute performing pulpit auto erotica throughout a Sunday Mass. Fine.
Do your self a favor and don't attempt to speak, on any level, about issues directly related to post program suicide. That would require direct experience with losing a peer from your program to suicide. While you might fancy yourself a crafty, effective hired gun you're actually the most transparent pawn in Aspen's repetoire.
No, I don't think "Programs cause suicide" but it's clear as day that their 1 size fucks all approach doesn't help. People on the verge of committing suicide don't advertise it. They plan in silence. They move from planning to acting when they feel completely out of control. When there is no better option than a silent heart.
Experts say that pressuring trauma victims to retell their stories against their will tends to increase stress symptoms rather than alleviate them. And brain research associates feelings of shame and humiliation to stress responses that exacerbate depression and anxiety and may contribute to physical illness.
"There is absolutely no role for shame and humiliation in the treatment of youth," says Christopher Bellonci, medical director of the Walker School, a nonprofit serving children with serious mental, behavioral and learning problems. "I know of no clinical rationale for treating youth for any condition in that fashion ... They are engendering new trauma, not repairing it."
Most mental-health experts today strongly disagree with the use of brutal confrontation or humiliation as therapy — particularly for vulnerable youths who have troubled pasts. Research suggests that feelings of being out of control characterize the typical patient's response to traumatic life events; consequently, recovery requires the avoidance of coercion.
This is what the MBA case is about. This is what Fornits is about.
Forced, "pay us an arm and a leg", LGAT teenage mindfuckery is:
Unethical
Criminal
Detrimental
In case you weren't paying attention - I'll repeat Fornit's core message (which happens to be congruent with the APA)
brain research associates feelings of shame and humiliation to stress responses that exacerbate depression and anxiety
They are engendering new trauma, not repairing it.
Eventually, this theory will be proven fact. On that day, you can pay a stranger $300 a day to raise your kid and rectify your 13 years of botched parenting
but
they won't be allowed to yell at them and debase them in the name of 'teen salvation'
(aka program profit and faculty self-grandization.)
That will be a good day.
MBA will take the first blow. It will cripple, and soon after, eradicate their runaway Prineville train.
Can you imagine the damage control flurry going on at Aspen right now?
