The Parent Project/Changing Destructive Adolescent Behavior

[ums]

Anybody have any experience with this?

My DS's psychiatrist recommended it due to his violence towards me and general lack of respect for me or acknowledgement of consequences/rules applying to him.

In our local area, one does the course partially over a weekend, and then through six weekly sessions. They also recommend a weekend boot camp type experience for the whole family. Very hard core. Kids have to earn the right to a blanket, food, etc.

I have not heard about it, but I will google it and see if I have an impression that would be useful one way or another.

The wilderness programs for kids scare me, and the adult programs too. Too many deaths. Personally I would stay away from a program that involves abuse. To have to earn food, a blanket...that sounds harsh.
