[edit] Could

Could this page include a mention of the Henderson Hospital, Sutton, Surrey, UK? 87.80.142.49 (talk) 17:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree - a description of the Hederson would be appropriate, with some supporting citations from Kingsley Norton etc. The reason: Henderson is a therapeutic community with a good emprical reserch base for clinical outcomes --

[edit] First coined?

I think the term Therapeutic Community might have been coined by Tom Main in his 1946 paper "The Hospital as a therapeutic insitution" in the Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic 1946 (reprinted in "The Ailment and other Psychoanalytic Essays", Free Association Books 1989, p.8) with reference to the Northfield Experiment. Any other evidence of who coined it? --Anonymaus (talk) 03:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
