Welcome Clinicians!

Setting The Stage

Clinicians set the stage by understanding that every component of a client's expeirience offers opportunites for growth and healing. Milieu therapy operates on the principle that healing is not limited to formal interventions but is embedded in daily routines, relationships, and the overall atmosphere of the therapeutic community (Gunderson, 1978).

Applying the Principles

Clinician's Role:

Establish a physically and emotionally safe environment.
Implement strategies that protect clients from harm.
Model calm and consistent behavior to reduce anxiety.

Application Tips:

Conduct regular safety assessments. Foster open communication where clients feel heard.
