My idealistic view would be more along the lines of a co-op, where those who lived could work as they were able: farming, carpentry, cooking, cleaning... > Juniper

Juniper--

One example of your ideal therapeutic community exists somewhere in New England--wish I could remember the name. I saw a profile of it on PBS some time ago. Professional staff members and their families live and work alongside mentally ill patients on a large farm/commune. There's a communal dining hall, but separate living quarters of various sizes and shapes. The enterprise is at least partially self-supporting; since I missed part of the program, I don't know funding details. The camraderie seemed genuine and the environment appealing.

Good luck on your coursework---medlib
