[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 743752, member: 18958"] No truer words were ever written. When I was in academia I participated in those kinds of studies. They are scientific studies. Their purpose is academic research. While it would be too harsh to say that they don't care, it is not untrue. They are trying to learn the conditions under which people succeed (or not). That people succeed is not their goal. You need to understand that, and so does he. He is a research subject. He is not a patient. While they cannot cause him intentional harm, there is not necessarily any commitment to care or to recovery on their part. I was a subject of a study when I was his age. It was extremely traumatic for me. I have great regret I participated. But that was many, many years ago and ethics and the impact upon the well-being of subjects of these studies was not as well-considered. [/QUOTE]
