Therapeutic Boarding Schools / Emotional Growth Education - Are there connections to the Human Potential Movement? Please provide resources. Cdw1952 ( talk) 22:38, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
The phrase "These schools have been described as spartan versions of traditional boarding schools" is an unattributed quote from the book and therefore more closely associated with opinion than with fact. I therefore suggest removal. Cdw1952 ( talk) 21:46, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
In Denmark we use the term Continuation School (Efterskole) for the same issues. Some are focused on helping people with problems like Dyslexia, others are treating addictions etc.
Where does the term differ from a group homes? A lot of our group homes have internal schools. Some like the Roloff homes and their spin-offs cannot offer acredited education so exams have to be taken at the nearest public school. It is like the ACE curriculum in the states where they have to do it over again in many states, because the local authorities don't recognize it.
Is it the number of detainees, that makes the difference?
Should a "See also" be added to those two articles because it is hard to tell where one term stops and the others start?

The last editor has removed the references to Phoenix House, but they still have a copy of their marketing section on Wikipedia as independent article. Covergaard ( talk) 04:29, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Please discuss changes to this article before making major revisions. The Effectiveness section contained properly sourced material that was deleted without a justification. The expired links need to be fixed but the content is valid. Further data on the effectivness is available on the NREPP.SAMAHSA website. I ♥ ♪♫ ( talk) 06:03, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
I have been researching the effectiveness section and will expand it with results from 2 studies and several papers from technical journals. It starts out like this: There is very little reliable research published on the effectiveness of private therapeutic boarding schools. What research exists is primarily drawn from public residential treatment programs... -- Cdw ♥'s ♪ ♫( talk) 05:32, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
I was surprised to see "Emotional Growth School" equated with "Therapeutic Boarding School." True therapeutic boarding schools in 2013 make extensive use of credentialed mental health professionals and have largely rejected the usual curricular content of the Linda Houghton era. One of the core principles of the emotional growth movement while Linda was a principal guide, mentor, and teacher in the movement, was the REJECTION of traditional mental health disciplines in the emotional growth movement. While I do not fail to respect the impact that the emotional growth movement has had on traditional mental health disciplines and the degree to which clinical practice has co-opted some of the elements of emotional growth, some of the harsher methods of the emotional growth movement are now seen as abusive. For that reason, the better therapeutic boarding schools tend to distance themselves from emotional growth movement. For this article to relate the two terms as it does is highly misleading. Frog one ( talk) 13:41, 23 August 2013 (UTC) On the topic of research, Look at the research of Ellen Behrens, Canyon Research. See http://natsap.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Behrens.pdf and http://natsap.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Outcome_Research_Graph.pdf Also be aware of NATSAP (natsap.org) encouraging research in this area.

I would like to update the section of effectiveness as it is out of date. NATSAP requires all programs to now be licensed or accredited but am hesitant to as I currently work with them and it may be seen as a conflict of interest. Would I be ok with just making that edit? I would make no further changes to the page. Or would it be better for someone else to do the editing? Many thanks. https://natsap.memberclicks.net/for-parents

Effective January 1, 2009 all NATSAP members must: •Be licensed by the appropriate state agency authorized to set and oversee standards of therapeutic and/or behavioral healthcare for youth and adolescents or accredited by a nationally recognized behavioral health accreditation agency •Have therapeutic services with oversight by a qualified clinician •Aspire NATSAP Ethical Principles and NATSAP Principles of Good Practice Source: https://natsap.memberclicks.net/for-parents Thank you S.

It is amazing to me how this article has devolved over time into a critque citing the Bazelon in the lede. A true encyclopedic article would define the subject not express opposition to it. How in the world can this article be seen as DEFINING the subject? -- Cdw ♥'s ♪ ♫( talk) 05:21, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
This article is now written completely in a persuasive style. I would recommend that someone with an interest in Encyclopedic content go back and restore some of the deleted content. -- Cdw ♥'s ♪ ♫( talk) 23:35, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
This article appears to be about specific form of school and residential institution in the United States, but does not specifically say so. Do these sorts of schools or institutions exist in other countries? Are there similar programs in other countries? If so, what are they called? How are they run? Also, how do other countries deal with the issues these institutions are intended to resolve? Addressing these questions will help address systemic bias in Wikipedia. There is an essay about addressing systemic bias in Wikipedia articles. - 203.96.84.33 ( talk) 01:57, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
