Okay, for those interested. Here is an excerpt and the link for Robert Dupont under oath in a trial against straight, courstesy of my friend Wes Fager:
4 Now, the therapeutic community program is
5 the linear descendent of the earliest of the modern
6 addiction treatments. It started with a program
7 called Synanon in California in 1978 and spread around
8 the country. And here we have Second Genesis and
9 Crossroads and several others in this area, as well as
10 Straight, that provided this kind of treatment, which
11 really had to do with peers working with peers in the
12 program and had to do with confrontation and
13 relatively prolonged periods of treatment.
http://thestraights.com/people/medical- ... t-web4.htmOther than his obvious mispeak about the date synanon was started (it was not 1978 but the early 60s)Notice he said straight was a LINEAR DESCENDENT of Synanon. Straight was formed by Seed parents and Seed staffers in St Petersburg Florida when the seed tucked tail and left.
How clear is that?
Now, please help me find the link to how Art Barker obtained these methods. I know the guy....he didn't think it up on his own. In other words, Art barker DID NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL, ONLY COPIED IT.
The question, how and where did he learn of these techniques?
