dc.description.abstract	Purpose: This paper aims to explore the precarious existence which therapeutic communities face and the recurring concern about their survival. Design/methodology/approach: Some general factors related to the possible collapse of communities are explored through a comparative study of communes, prisons, mutinies and student protest. Sources of internal disorganisation and external threat are examined and the crucial role of leadership explored. Findings: A typology is suggested in which therapeutic communities exhibit a career of death, from functional failure, through self awareness, to official closure. Originality/value: The paper provides valuable insight into therapeutic communities. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
