You may have noticed my post on The Straights board asking when group went from being called The Game at Synanon, to Rap's. Someone said they think The Seed changed that lingo. Is that true?

My perception is that "the Seed" was first and Straight start from some members of the St Pete Seed that I was a part of.

When we were in group meetings at the Seed they were called "Rap" sessions.

I'm not sure when The Seed was started but CEDU was founded in 1967 by Mel Wasserman and some ex-Synanon people. I know that at CEDU, group is referred to as Raps and I'm pretty sure it's been that way since day one. I'm not sure what the link is between The Seed and Cedu other than Synanon.

Cedu is an emotional growth boarding school in California. It is often referred to as the "grand daddy" of such schools and programs. I'm attaching a link http://www.cedu.com/history/index.shtml
to the school's website that talks a bit about it's history. But, of course, this is the side that they want parents to see. I believe it's actual origination is a bit more colorful with it's connection to Synanon. As for my connection. I attended an offspring of Cedu that was started by Cedu graduates.
