About
The Peper Harow residential community was founded in 1970 and gained international repute for its work with disturbed adolescents. For over 20 years this remarkable establishment provided a therapeutic environment for teenagers who had often suffered appalling abuse, and yet for whom the state's only remedial provision until then had been in the punitive form of the approved schools. In Transforming Hate to Love , Melvyn Rose describes how Peper Harow mananged rather than punished disruptive behaviour. Through the words of ex-residents the reader is given a unique view of the effectiveness of the treatment process - its successes and its failures. The overwhelmingly positive outcome of Rose's interviews with ex-residents of Peper Harow indicated that the area reflects an incomplete view of the causes of criminality among young people. Peper Harow's success demonstrated to both the general and specialist reader how a psychodynamic approach to adolescent delinquency, and its emotional source could benefit society as a whole.
