When I began my six month placement at The Lodge, an in-patient therapeutic community for those with emotional and personality disorders, there were 13 residents. Three left and two more joined us over the following month. Our consultant was on annual leave when the community was devastated by the unexpected death of a long-standing resident, who I will refer to as B. At the time of his death he was a well integrated member of the community.
