If you’re in the D.C. area, you might consider coming to the Cato book forum I’m hosting this Thursday for Maia Szalavitz’s new book, Help at Any Cost: How the Troubled Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids.

Opening remarks are by Evan Wright, a Rolling Stone contributing editor, award-winning war journalist, and a guy who as a teen went through The Seed, an abusive drug rehab program that was a precursor to Straight, Inc.

Maia details some truly devastating stories in her book. Should be an interesting event. No cost for admission.
