The Troubled teen industry comprises schools, camps, and other facilities which use tough love behavior modification therapy on minors in an effort to correct perceived behavior issues. Therapies used may include Adventure therapy or Wilderness therapy. Some members of the industry have been criticized in Maia Szalavitz's book, Help at Any Cost: How the Troubled-Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids.
