This was on another group and I found it interesting. Any thoughts from anyone in regards to this form of therapy that has been illiegalized in some states?
Is this form of therapy used in MKP? If this form of therapy is used in MKP do they have fully licenced and trained facilitators involved during the session? Do they continue to monitor the person for adverse side effects of the therapy?
If so I would like to hear from anyone that has been involved in regards to how they found the experience and was it helpful to them or the person using this type of therapy?
Has anyone talked to someone that has had negative experience with this type of therapy?
Has anyone talked with someone that has had positive experiences with this type of therapy?

AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION OPPOSES "RE-BIRTHING" TREATMENT
Psychiatrists Warn Coercive Therapy Can Be Fatal
Washington, DC --There is no scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of coercive holding therapies, or so-called "re-birthing techniques," said the American Psychiatric Association in a position statement on Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). The position statement was approved by the APA Board of Trustees in late June.
Re-birthing techniques have been used in some cases. Strong clinical evidence suggests that coercive therapy is not therapeutic and can even be fatal, the APA said.
Coercion therapy involves wrapping a person tightly in a blanket or other material for extended periods in an effort to simulate rebirth.
"Re-birthing techniques have no place in psychiatric treatment," says Paul S. Appelbaum, M.D., APA president. "These extreme methods pose serious risk and should not be used under any circumstances."
