“…The concept of the totalistic milieu is well-established in the literature (Gowan & Whetstone, 2012;Hood, 2011;Kaye, 2013;Singer & Ofshe, 1990;Skoll, 1992;Volkman & Cressey, 1963;Weppner, 1983). Numerous authors describe TPC specific to teen treatment programmes (Aziz & Clark, 1996;Behar, Friedman, Pinto, Katz-Leavy, & Jones, 2007;Beyerstein, 1992;Bratter & Sinsheimer, 2008;Chama & Ramirez, 2014;De Leon & Melnick, 1993;Dye, Ducharme, Johnson, Knudsen, & Roman, 2009;Frankel, 1989;Friedman et al, 2006;GAO-08-146T, 2007;GAO-08-713T, 2008;Polvere, 2011;Pope, 2015;Rauktis, Fusco, Cahalane, Bennett, & Reinhart, 2011).…”

This exploratory study examined perceptions of care quality within parent-pay youth treatment programmes such as therapeutic boarding schools, residential treatment centres, wilderness therapy programmes, and intensive outpatient programmes. Reflecting on their personal experiences as youths, 214 adults reported on a total of 75 different treatment settings. Two indices developed for this study measured participants' perceptions of quality of experience and the totalistic programme characteristics of their care settings. Regression analyses and ANOVA tests of means indicated a negative relationship between totalistic programme characteristics and quality of experience index scores. Significant relationships were not found between quality of experience and forcible transport, intake decade, or the amount of time in treatment.
