'FUSION TCs': Divergent histories, converging challenges

Abstract
This paper explores the different historical developments in the therapeutic community (TC) world, and the resulting differences in types of therapeutic community. The authors then look at more recent developments in the two main types of therapeutic community, and argue that there are increasingly more similarities than differences, often in response to external factors and constraints. They go on to suggest that there is a new model emerging, which combines aspects of the two main types of therapeutic community: the ‘fusion TC’; and they discuss this model, and its implications for the therapeutic community field. They also suggest ways of developing and extending joint working and cooperation across all types of therapeutic communities.
