...therapy is a good thing. There is an abundance of studies professing the positive effects of therapy on depression. Depression can get better by itself, but according to one study done in 1999, adolescents who received cognitive treatment for their depression had a 67 percent recovery rate, as opposed to a 48 percent recovery rate for those who received none. Numerous studies have examined the treatments for anorexia and eating disorders, including one done in 2003, which suggested that those who received therapy for anorexia nervosa had significantly higher recovery rates than those...

Meredith Droeger does too: as the Crowleys' afflicted daughter, she's a smart little bundle of fighting spirit...
...babysitting facilities than running schools. Rather than confronting and truly aiding these children in discovering the bigger motivational, psychological, and emotional factors that were causing them to act out academically or otherwise, these administrators were quick to scream, intimidate, and channel the children to uniformed officers for reprimand. This treatment served to desensitize them to the fear of authority or detention, and began preparing them for a life within the justice system at an early...
