The following links will take you to initial web-sites that I am reviewing in the first stage of research to establish criteria for constructive vs. destructive forms of mandated therapy. If treatment is mandated by the force of law and successful completion is required as a condition to avoid incarceration we need to be sure that the treatment will help to produce sober and responsible human beings and induce further psychological harm in an effort to help. To assure that treatment is effective and beneficial we must be willing to explore all sides of the issue as we answer two vital questions: (1) What forms of treatment are helpful to substance abusers? and (2) What forms of treatment are harmful and ineffective?
