Craig
Not so very different really. I think we both reported it from the standpoint that this was a tragedy that shouldn't have happened (me rather obliquely it's true). My other point about Young describing Castle Craig as a TC (and he works there and should frankly know better) is about my irritation at the cheap currency the expression "therapeutic community" has become. I'm sure other listmembers will have come across this misuse of the term too. I feel it strengthens the argument for the work that both Community of Communities and the EFTC are engaged in to develop a clear descriptive of what a TC really is. While I'm at it, didn't Vera Segraeus in Sweden develop an instrument for defining types of treatment? Does anyone know - my memory is failing I think. Nurse will be coming soon to help me with my jigsaw.

A sad little article from the Guardian. But interesting that Castle Craig
is described as a TC - it most emphatically is NOT! Castle Craig is a private
sector 12 step Minnesota Model institution.
