Feeling can change!
Of the CIA used MKULTRA style crap, we have to assume Stalin and Mao weren’t slacking. Just to name the two who could start a war.
>Castlewood Treatment Center
Four years after battling malpractice lawsuits and accusations of brainwashing, Castlewood Treatment Center in west St. Louis County has changed its name to Alsana, even as new complaints arise about its staff and treatment methods.
The name change reveals challenges in health care marketing. Nearly all potential patients use internet search engines to find doctors and treatment facilities. Online reviews and testimonials are hugely influential for patients seeking care, according to public relations experts.
All references to Castlewood have been scrubbed from its website, which redirects to Alsana’s page. A blog post from 2011 about the lawsuits against Castlewood, among other historical citations, was altered to replace the center’s name with Alsana.
For example, the company has expanded to 10 eating disorder programs in California and Alabama, including its original site on the outskirts of Castlewood State Park in Ballwin, Steiner said. More than 90 percent of the 288 patients discharged from the clinics between September 2017 and June said they would recommend the programs to others, according to a company spokeswoman.
The company, which has been represented by at least four public relations firms in the last six years, has an “enormously challenging marketing proposition” with a history that includes negative publicity and lawsuits, according to Jim Fisher, a professor of marketing at St. Louis University.

Castlewood was founded nearly 20 years ago by psychologist Mark Schwartz and his wife, Lori Galperin. The center has previously advertised that its residential therapy costs $1,100 a day.
In 2011, former patient Lisa Nasseff sued Castlewood and Schwartz, claiming he brainwashed her to create false memories of sexual abuse and satanic cult activity in her past.
Nasseff’s suit and four other malpractice or personal injury lawsuits against Castlewood between 2011 and 2014 have been dismissed, with lawyers for both sides saying the cases were resolved favorably. Neither Nasseff nor her attorney, Ken Vuylsteke, of Webster Groves, could be reached for comment.
Castlewood staff previously denied the allegations and said no therapist ever created false memories or hypnotized clients.
Sounds like a victim of MKULTRA. The organization of “victims united” against Castlewood is pretty damn slick, complete with a slick website, exactly like you’d expect from broken abused people, right? Or maybe [somebody] set this up to get revenge on the healers trying to help the slaves break free.
