Alright, im 19, my birthday is oct 1, my girlfriend is 16, birthday oct 13, we were introduced with the belief that she was 17. we haven’t had any sexual contact what so ever. Her parents hate me just because she has had some bad relationships an think im some guy who just wants to get her drunk or high an abuse her. I don’t do drugs, I don’t drink my dad is a cop for Pete’s sake. I have my own home an i work full time. Her father died a long time ago so her mother has some boyfriend whose age is like 6 years different. She isn’t happy her life is controlled to a T. the other night she tried to stay at my house, not to do anything just to be with me. An her parents threatened to call the cops when they figured out where they were. The were not going to (because they were drunk off there ass;s) I’ve had a lot of shit relationships an I think this time it might be something more. I’m about to enroll in college for criminal justice to be a police officer. Can someone please tell me everything I can possibly do, from emancipation to anything please. Time is the only true test of love and I’m not letting go..

What Is a Therapeutic Community?

Question by M L: What is a therapeutic community?

Best answer:

Answer by 9Suns
Therapeutic community is a term applied to a participative, group-based approach to long-term mental illness, personality disorders and drug addiction. The approach is usually residential with the clients and therapists living together, is based on milieu therapy principles and includes group psychotherapy as well as practical activities.

Therapeutic communities have gained some reputation for success in rehabilitation and patient satisfaction in Britain and abroad. In Britain, ‘democratic analytic’ therapeutic communities have tended to specialise in the treatment of moderate to severe personality disorders and complex emotional and interpersonal problems. The evolution of therapeutic communities in the United States has followed a different path with hierarchically arranged communities (or concept houses) specialising in the treatment of drug and alcohol dependence.
