Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Posted May 13, 2006 " *Skin shock is not generally used in treatment programs today. This is due to an unfortunate current cultural bias against aversive treatment procedures as well as a general lack of information among the public concerning skin shock's remarkable effectiveness, its total lack of negative side effects, its safety, and the fact that students often choose it over alternative treatments. * *The Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC) first began using skin shock in 1989 in order to provide life-saving treatment to individuals who otherwise would have been unable to be successfully treated. Because this treatment was so effective, JRC has employed skin-shock with many of its students during the past 13 years with constantly increasing success. At this point JRC has accumulated the most extensive experience with the use of skin shock of any organization. The purpose of this paper is to make the most important aspects of this information available to others. " * My God...This is obscene. Positively obscene. " Total lack of negative side effects " ? " Students often choose it over alternative treatments " ? What student chooses to be shocked? I'd heard this place was horrible, but I had no idea how bad it is. Am I missing something here? I typically don't see the sort of nonsensical and dangerous propaganda above anywhere outside of primary source material on the USSR. -Ari > http://www.effectivetreatment.org/writeup2.html > > > > > > > > Quote
