I have one very large question are any of these Apples that fell from the tree of (Syn.) fruitfull at all or is this whole Philosophy/ Method doomed from it's Genisis.  I am not a scholar on this matter but I have huge interest b/cuz I was a resident of these treatment centers it has been many yrs. since. My mind and heart has been extremely influenced by this entire web. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy to see ex-residents being this educated and helping one another. You know you would think that the phrase "ONE ADDICT HELPING ANOTHER" has finally found a true meaning and service on this site . Just some thoughts not to go on to much here. But there is something to be said for that slogan.

Inculcated:

That is a large question. Synanon derivatives operate on basic concepts that have complex consequences.  Doomed would not in my opinion apply to them per se, considering how they’ve proliferated. Unnecessarily destructive, harmful and ranging from cruel to cultic under the guise of therapeutics would in my opinion apply. There is a lot of information available for you to draw your own conclusions.

I have an aversion to them (slogans).

--- Quote from: "Magnificent" ---As a former staff from Daytop I can tell you that they did share the history and connection to Synanon.  The conection was simply that the model was utiltized to develope what Daytop would be but it wasn't a deal where they walked around talking about Synanon in fact it was stressed that Synanon broke a lot of rules and became a cult.  The Florida program did have some NY staff who went to help get it started but I'm not sure what all happened with those people I've been gone for some time.

One last question:

"The Florida program did have some NY staff who went to help get it started but I'm not sure what all happened with those people I've been gone for some time."[/list]
Are you saying that Daytop specifically did send people down to The Seed program in Florida to help them get started? Do you know whether any other TC, e.g., Phoenix House or Synanon or Gaudenzia (Philly), or any other government programs also did so?

thnx
