Turn-About Ranch Residential Treatment Center for Troubled Teens Featured on Dr. Phil
Escalante, UT (PRWEB) October 7, 2010
On September 27, 2010, Dr. Phil provided his viewers with an update on two troubled teenage girls who were out of control in every way. One girl had been placed under house arrest, while the other threw fits when she wasnât able to manipulate her parents into giving her what she wanted. Both teens were rebellious and disrespectful, and both admitted that they had experimented with drugs and alcohol.
In order to get the family out of this âcrisis situation,â Dr. Phil offered to send both girls to Turn-About Ranch, which he described as an âunbelievably powerfulâ therapeutic working cattle ranch in Utah.
Dr. Phil chose Turn-About Ranch because it provides troubled teens with âa safe, highly structured environment where there is extreme accountability.â The caring counselors at the ranch teach troubled teens to respect authority and accept the consequences of their actions, and show them the joys of becoming a working member of a team.
As she milked a cow, rode horses and bailed hay with the picturesque Utah ranch in the background, the featured student described the changes that have taken place during her stay at Turn-About Ranch:
âIâve made such a change in my life and Iâve grown so much in the past three months,â she said. âOn the path that I was headed down I was not going to get very far. I was either going to end up somewhere I didnât want to be or probably even dead. ⦠Being here helped me find happiness.â
After three months at Turn-About Ranch, the teenage girl made significant progress emotionally and behaviorally, and developed important life skills such as accountability, gratitude and a strong work ethic. Her parents now describe her as positive, happy, mature and responsible, and the ranchâs Executive Director Luke Hatch described her as a leader who takes pride in the work she does.
Because the girlsâ parents needed more time to create a healthy, structured environment at home â and because both girls would benefit from continued support and structure â Dr. Phil offered to send the girls to long-term therapeutic boarding schools operated by Aspen Education Group. Though he gave the family time to think about his offer, he strongly recommended continuing care in the Aspen Education Group family of programs for both girls.
âGod bless you for the work you do,â Dr. Phil told Patty Evans, the Chief Marketing Officer and Sr. Vice President of Business Development at Aspen Education Group. In parting, Dr. Phil also offered a personal thank you to all of the counselors at Turn-About Ranch for their patience and dedication to struggling teens and their families.

Psychologistâs New Book Probes His Own Troubled Teenage Years for Insights Into Thriving During Difficult Times
Barnet, London (PRWEB) May 09, 2011
How does a Jewish honor student growing up in the Bronx in 1969 end up a member of an extorting Puerto Rican gang? Further, once an avowed member, how does he manage to leave the gang unscathed, and go on to a successful career as a respected clinical psychologist?
David Wolgrochâs new memoir, Shrink, now available as an e-book from eBookIt.com, uses his own adolescence as a case study. Starting from the comfort of his present day private practice in a plush tree-lined London suburb, Wolgroch regresses to the gritty reality of growing up in an urban neighbourhood in ethnic transition, including the irony of assimilating himself into a Puerto Rican gang as a means of survival in the midst of turbulence, only to then extract himself from it, in a controversial act of self-preservation, that was as cleverly brilliant as it was selfish and manipulative.
With a fresh and engaging storytelling, Wolgroch explores the landscape of both his neighbourhood and his teenage mind. Wolgroch writes of these experiences in a straightforward manner, which is neither self-congratulatory nor excessively penitential in tone, and clearly aware of both the virtues and vices of his own machinations.
âAs a clinical psychologist, I wanted to illustrate resilience, positive coping, and urban survival using my actual experiences growing up in an impoverished neighbourhood during a time in which rules, role models and directions were unclear, if not abandonedâmuch like today,â says Wolgroch. âHopefully, Shrink will inform and inspire others to believe in their ability to cope and pursue personal goals rather than succumb to failure and negative influences. My actual experience illustrates how one can turn potential crises into a positive experience. In other words, how to thrive rather than simply survive in difficult times.â
Besides the usual exposure to various types of âpersons in crisisâ common to his profession, Wolgroch himself is the son of Holocaust survivors, and has clinical experience helping Holocaust survivors cope with haunting memories. He is also the author of Creation Out of Nothingness, a personal journey exploring the pervasive effects of the Holocaust on four generations of his family. Naturally, his personal and clinical insights into survival and resilience transcend far beyond the pages of a textbook or scholarly paper.
By the end of the book, the author returns again to the green leather armchair of his office through an extended epilogue, which extracts key psychological concepts from his own memoirs, covering personality, motivation, resilience, and ethics. These supplementary reflections provide a deeper analyses of the characters and themes of the story, avoiding the dual temptations of a preachy tone and pretension.
âHaving discovered my ability to influence the ideas and actions of others, I eventually found my vocation as a psychologist,â says the author. âThe distinction between caring for someone and exploiting them is precariously fragile. When I discovered my aptitude in this area, I was clearly engaged in more exploitation than caring. As a clinical psychologist, I can still influence others, but with the goal of assisting them with getting some aspect of their life back on track,â says Wolgroch.
Rarely do we find a âshrinkâ brave enough to turn the light inward, and allow his own young life to serve as both an example and a warning. Wolgroch opens the door, and for the readerâs benefit, releases what surely would have been more safely kept in the confines of the clinicianâs office.
Teen readers, who face their own share of peer pressure, struggles with self-esteem, and search for an identity, will surely be drawn to Shrink, though Wolgroch offers plenty of grist for adult minds as well.
Shrink is now available as an e-book from eBookIt.com, Amazon.com, BN.com and several other online retailers. Author David Wolgroch is available for insightful and entertaining interviews.
