Miller Newton has been convicted in civil court of abuse & false imprisonment. He got his "training" in a notorious drug rehab that had its roots in a cult called the Seed. The seed was accused of the senate of the united states of using Korean brainwashing techniques.miller Newton ran his own cult based on these techniques called "Kids" that has caused numerous heartbreaks and shattered families.
warning to all...stay away from this type of "therapy" . Visit this link for more information. http://www.wesfager.com/index.htm

This man has just settled ANOTHER law suit with a former patient!! A few years back a former "patient" received 4.5 million, a few months ago another one received 6.5. His record of abuse and neglect of adolescents is frightening...if you are truly looking for help with a troubled teen...look elsewhere. His methods are based on brainwashing techniques used on OUR KOREAN WAR POWs and treatment modalities developed by SYNANON - A KNOWN CULT!!!!!

DO NOT READ THIS DO NOT TRUST MILLER NEWTON DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD HE WRITES GO TO WWW.FORNITS.COM AND WWW.THESTRAIGHTS.COM FOR ALL THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS ON MILLER NEWTON DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This so called "PhD." author has been convicted in a civil court of false imprisonment and abuse of adolescents. Read if you must, but be forewarned about this author and his shaky credentials. There is a lot available online about this defrocked priest and his controversial counselling techniques (CULT). Research before you read!!...

...on the other hand, buying this book may help the author payoff some of the millions of dollars he owes in lawsuits from former clients...

I would definitely not recommend this book. Miller Newton's views on treating children and teens are horrible and abusive.

Readers of this book should know that Miller Newton is a notorious figure that has been accused of horrible abuses. He was successfully sued in 2000 for $4.5 million for abusing clients at his facilities...

Newton is an evil man that deserves nothing but a long jail sentance.

Please investigate this author. He has a very shocking past dealing with teens.

Miller Newton is a cult learder!! He ran one of the most inhumane drug rehabs ever. He held people against their will and "treated" kids with no "problems" at all. He has destoyed many families to the point that perents have not seen their own children in 10 or more years. I could not imagian any good coming from such a wicked, twisted, egocentric, beast. Do not waste your money and if you think you need to please go to theStaights dot com or KIDS of North Jersey first!!!

Professionals, professors, and parents, I urge you to do several things before reading this book:

First, utilize the multitude of resources and the abundance of alternate books on this subject by highly respected professionals and experts, and cease recommendation of this book to students and parents immediately.

Examine the mounting sources, on-line, in the media, in affidavits, criminal charges, prosecutions, lawsuits and settlements related to Kids of Bergen County, Kids of North Jersey, and Straight of Florida, where Newton gained his "professional experience" and practiced his "treatment model."

Seek other materials outlining the severely detrimental effects suffered by Newton's "clients", and explore the countless details which Miller Newton has omitted from his books relating to his "treatment programs" including: child abuse, extreme violent assaults, depravation of education, sleep, lavatory use, forcing children to listen to sexually explicit stories in graphic detail, kidnapping, imprisonment, falsifying documents, insurance fraud, malpractice including a lack of professionals present at initial intakes and at therapeutic sessions, refusal of necessary medical treatment, and more...

Dr. Phil recenlty send a 15-year old girl to a reportedly abusive behavior modification program - Provo Canyon School. The punitive measures used at this particular program would be considered torture by many. This is not the way to guide youth to be productive and caring adults. Tough behavior modification programs like Provo Canyon School have recently been under fire as professional organizations have recently determined that their methods are ineffective and brutal. His recomendations for this type of intervention makes one question his professionalism.
