velvet2000:
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know when it went from The Game at Synanon to being called Raps? Was that in Straight or Kids? Anyone have any idea WHY they're called raps?

FaceKhan:
I don't know much about straight so this is a complete guess, but maybe it was named raps in reference to rapping kids knuckles. It could be called that in reference to rhapsody or rap music but I highly doubt it.

ladyjerrico:
In answer to "rap" session, I think it was called that because a "rap" I would believe would be considered a "conversation", or possibly "group talk". I would have to consult a dictonary, but I would think that's what it would stand for.
I think it might have been the SEED who came up with it since Straight and Kids were branched out from that facility, I'm just speculating on this one

Carmel:
I think it was a weak attempt at a "cooler" name for group therapy. You know, we all sat around in blue chairs and "rapped" to each other....or at each other was more like it.  Funny if that is truly the case because Straight was adamant about not using slang terms for anything, because it was considered "druggie".

ladyjerrico:
they should have called our group therapy at Straight a "clicking session" or "motivational therapy" because to me most of the time that is all that ended up happining.
