I think it would be great if there was regulation but in reality I can't ever see groups like Landmark ever agreeing to this. Really for regulation to ever work, goverments would have to do the regulating and make the applicable laws and consequences of companies breaking them.
Agree with you totally but I can't imagine landmark ever subjecting itself to the possibility of accountability either. It will take the intervention of Governments, the APA, and accrediting educational institutions to impose regulations and restrictions at national and municipal levels to put a stop to landmark's 'free for all' psychotherapy fest.
Estie posted some great ideas for regulations.
And the way to affect change through the government is to communicate with your representatives. Good places to start of course is the United States Federal Dept Labor, States Dept Labor, and States Attorneys General. Course, there's also your local congressmen and senators...
;)
Senators ARE congressmen. The House of Reps and Senate....
Common mistake.
Education is a much better way to go IMO. Legislation for any portion of this nonsense will create a sense that SOME of it is legit. This is not desirable in any sense.
Hehehe, I know Senators are also congressmen, but "congressmen" generally refers more to reps than senate. But at any rate, complaining and bringing the issue of dangerous LGATs to government reps like Dept Labor, State Attorneys General, and representatives isn't just to spur potential legislation - but more importantly for federal and state agencies to take a look at the industry and clamp down even without new legislation. For example the Dept Labor can for sure do a lot - because it is probably a common theme for LGATs to use unpaid laborers, which is illegal in for-profit companies. And State Attorneys General can take a look at history of deaths, psychotic episodes, violent acts, etc... the other gov't reps are good for resources and support, and perhaps to bring in some press as well is always a good thing...
