Who here has read it?
I was HORRIFIED at the institution this book describes. They force sensory deprivation on their patients, punish people instead of trying to help them, hold their mail from them, only let them make a phone call about once a month, have a moderator in their group discussions who is mean and rude but sends the patients to the quiet room if they're mean or rude or even just joking, don't let them eat enough to satisfy their hunger, don't let them speak without permission and often ignoring them, let doctors insult a girl because of her weight, confiscate things that are not even dangerous (like a baseball card and lip gloss) yet let them eat without supervision (as in, this is illogical) and I could go on and on. The patients in the story were all involuntary, btw, and adolescents besides, stuck there for as long as their parents' insurance lasts.
