No one but me and the paying customer? Only 2 people? Oh my goodness, that cant be worth it. Lets take a look to see if this independent study with 3rd party oversight which was presented to the APA's annual conference which shows these programs to be up to 85% successful is still there!

Oh, Good. Geesh, Bruce, you should notify some people. Seems no one believes you.
Let me know if you want to take another look at the study or if anyone from the APA takes your position. lol

Here's the biggest problem Whootbag, residential outcomes pg 13. This is where she makes her mistake and is obviously writing an advertisement and not an objective study.
Teens who are released prior to graduating the program against the advice of program staff threw a wrench in her whole analysis. They reported doing much better than her predictions. She counters this by conjecturing that the teens and their parents who left before graduating "consciously or unconciously" lied about problems because of the confrontations between parents and staff for early release.
This is far from objective and even farther from an accurate scientific analysis. It is nothing more than an attempt, and a poor one at that, to disguise a program advertisement in a "medical" report.
I write basic scientific reports on a regular basis, this one does not even adhere to elementary guidelines.
Once again I say, this Dr. ought to be ashamed of herself, not only for selling her morals, but for a well below par analysis.
