A group of students who recently resigned from leadership roles at the Boston Public Schools accused an adult supervisor of psychological abuse during a news conference on Saturday, describing regular sessions during which teenagers were encouraged to share deeply personal information and cry.
Addressing reporters inside the Roxbury building that houses BPS headquarters, three students gave what they said were accounts of their experiences at gatherings known as âRC,â which they said stands for re-evaluation counseling, a controversial, peer-based therapy established in the 1950s by Carl Harvey Jackins.
