Can someone educate me about the RAP session
Anonymous:
Thank you for this description - but raps aren't that bad. Everything done in them is healing. I can't believe how you people see the world. Our staff indightments can only help you. I have seen a lot of mentally ill people pull it all together in raps and prophets. Raps used to be hard. Now they are whimpy and you are all winers.
CEDU 1974-75:
Oh sure;I'll go over this whole rap thing with ya' if you really want to know.
Picture a young man,approximately fifteen years old sitting in a circle in a room with about twelve or fifteen other young people and maybe one or two adults.
It's 1974.Our friend,the young man,the "rap participant" holds his face in his hands and stares at the floor.He doesn't know the first thing about "behavioral modification","emotional growth",Charles Dederich,Mel Wasserman,Synanon,Cedu,or even why people want to make a big deal about gettin' high.He just knows his parents don't really want him around and the suggestion that juvenile authorities want to shoot him off to Running Springs for a couple of years seems like a good idea to them,once it floats into their minds, past the valium,beer,vodka,Thunderbird, and general sense of overall futility that comes with being"poor white trash""back in the day".
Oh yeah,you've got to participate.You try not to.You play along.You don't play along.You hope like hell that these bastards know what they're doing.They don't.
The truth becomes a garbled catastrophe masquerading as emotional understanding and subservient compliance.
That's thirty years ago.Now,Who cares?...I'm afraid I do.
Thirty years ago...It's long gone...
Details?Blow by blow?Maybe later.Who knows? Are things really different now?
The vacant stare lives on.
My advice:Don't even think about it.Not for yourself,not for someone you care about,not for anyone.

Therapists never run raps. The staff used to say "The therapists don't understand what we do." Therefore, therapists don't get to run raps. They have started letting us be in them though and I can assure you that it is a horror -
yes still today.
The facilatators (usually with an idaho High School education - sometimes not even that) calls a student to attention by attacking him or her with all types of projections of their introjected critical parent - "you make me sick" "Your Parents hate you" "you are a failure" "You are a whimp."
Then, for three hours students do what they have to do "to not become the victim - They attack the poor bloke with all of their own critical parent introgected projections. "you are nothing" "You are a sick fuck" etc. etc.
Whosoever has compassion or empathy and therefore holds back, he becomes the next victim.
This teaches kids and staff that the way one goes about solving interpersonal problems is to become a screaming maniac - I was married to a CEDU screaming maniac and this is from (BCA 2003).
If any educational consultant referrs you to such a place, you should sue them. They di violence to eac h other and to kids at Boulder creek Academy, Northwest Academy and Rocky Mountain Academy.
The kid who had his arm broken by a staff member was trying to get out of just such a rap. They broke his arm a second time by punishing him with work assigmnants breaaking ice with his broken arm against Dr's orders.
Another one of my clients there had pnumonia and was running a 104 fever and he was told "you are a faker" and was locked outside the school. He was later hospitalized and was critical. Todd Degraff did this and many other things that are hard to talk about - he was never even talked to and was thus given tacit authority to continue such treatment.
The problem is "group think." Staff are above the law, above authority - They are Gods. Very small pathetic dark Gods. And "the therapists don't understand what you do". You are right; we never understood what you do, and we never understood what Hitler was doing either. But we wimps can whimper and cry just like the kids - can't we?

I would beg to differ. I think the therapists who have posted here understand and are far better able to articulate what's going on in these raps than either the former students or the staff. That's why your participation and influence is limited. You weren't hired to actually provide therapy. You were hired because it's a licensing/marketing requirement.
