The Troubled Teen Industry - Three Therapist's Perspectives Part 1

Many survivors of the teen treatment industry have spoken out against it over the years, including Paris Hilton who has cast a large spotlight on abusive practices over the last several years. Organizations like Breaking Code Silence have helped survivors of institutional abuse suffered at adolescent treatment centers through support, advocacy, education, and research. But many mental health therapists have remained silent about their perspective on the treatment teens receive in long-term residential settings... until now. In this episode of Hystericology, Andrea Hanson LCMHC and Elizabeth Becmann LMFT along with special guest, Jessica Black LCMHC have an open and honest conversation about their time in therapeutic boarding schools as a "student", staff, and licensed therapists.
