This is to introduce not me, but the facility for which I work: The Planned
Environment Therapy Trust Archive and Study Centre, situated in
Gloucestershire, in the UK. "Planned Environment therapy" is a pre-war term
largely supplanted by "therapeutic community", and the Archive and Study
Centre is devoted broadly to therapeutic community, with archives, research
library, and active oral history programme. We also support the work as we
can. See http://www.pettarchiv.org.uk.
I would particularly like to encourage people who have written or are
writing research reports, theses or dissertations to let us have a copy for
our library, where it can then be made available to others, and to which we
can refer when answering queries. I'll give below a list of some of the
relevant theses we hold, but starting with four books which have just come
in in the past week or so. The Durand-Dossier books we got in because of a
paper by Eric Broekaert. Very glad to hear of other books we should try to
get hold of.
all the best,
Craig
