Life space crisis intervention as a modern manifestation of milieu therapy and orthopedagogy

This article concerns the historical and particular position of ‘Milieu therapy’ and ‘Life Space Crisis Intervention’ at the Department of Orthopedagogics of the Ghent University Association. Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI) is a therapeutic, verbal method of intervention for young people in crisis. It is an ego-strengthening approach and part of the milieu-therapeutic tradition. During its long history the Department of Ortho- pedagogics at Ghent University has never adhered to one dominant paradigm of care. Milieu therapy has, however, played an important role in the department’s development and offered fertile soil for the implementation of new methodologies such as LSCI.
