SurRobinHood,

I would imagine that many people had pre-seed issues they might have needed to deal with at some point, so youç have to consider that when assessing the post-seed need for therapy.

I remember hearing of someone who was on their 12 to 12 for 14 months - some claim to fame.

I read a lot about cults post-seed. It seems that those who are susceptable share some common traits, among them being able to convince themselves that others are right and they are wrong...a need for authority.

SurRobinHood:
Greg- Small world but I wouldn't want to have to paint it. I suppose a real "here's my story" thread would be appropriate and maybe even helpfull in some way for something. I could restate that as a vague ambiguity if you'd like.  :lol:  clevland- I think it's pretty safe to say we all had some issues, some more debilitating than others. A few may still have issues.......maybe. It's not really supprising at all for someone to move from one cult to another. Substituting one addiction for another is quite common. We were a sociological experement and much of what happened to many of us have clinical definitions. One of the big things Art balked at, that lost him his federal funding and put Sembler in the throne, was his refusal to have parents sign a human experamentation risk form.
As an additional point perhaps interesting to some. The bank robbery resulting in the phrase "stockholm syndrome" happened while I was at the seed in 1973.

Hey, tell me about this  "human experimetation risk form"?  That's a new one I have never heard about. Is there any offical documentation concerning this?  

I know that many seedlings have in the past, and continue in the present,  to suffer from numerous describable, diagnosable, psychological conditions and afflictions. It's not a black and white problem - which is how it ofetn shows up on this discussion board.  There are so many shades of gray when you talk about the damage, the results and the healing from social experimentation programs like the seed.  
   
I don't know if my parents (1) ever signed anything - other than their checks; and (2) if they did, whether they would still have those docs. It would be interesting to read the contract today.

Reading that, it seems it was the early people - PRE-1974 who had the greatest exposure to the unregualted program.  Kids coming after were, of course, exposed to similar risks, but at least there was some public record about The Seed by then so that a half-way diligent parent could have sought and found some information about the program.  Unless I am mistaken, in early 1973, there just wasn't much public information - other than rah-rah proclamations by seed parents and participants as to the actual program.
