Publisher Description: Trust and Change explains exactly what happens in a therapeutic community (TC). It deals with commonly asked questions and looks at the 'four basic pillars' of TC work -- democratisation, tolerance, communality and reality confrontation -- as well as the 'no secrets' principal (or 'footstool') and trust. It emphasises the need to encourage a culture of enquiry as well as practical aspects of management, record-keeping and audit. Throughout, the book contains 'Thinking Points' and gives examples of typical structures and schedules together with the aims, purposes and rationale of the TC as a living-learning experience. |
