Yeah Diane

Jennifer was related to that quack .Since we are speaking of dr. Davidson he was in charge of the therapy and you would think that that would involve talking with the residents .I mean afterall he was a psychiatrist and isn't that part of the job to talk to people .

I met davidson once during my entire almost 2 year stay .And no other shrink could be found on the site .

Jennifer Stamler  they tortured that poor girl .She was a talented person, she played the guitar and had a very nice voice .It is my opinion that they drove her crazy . After pushing her over the edge ,elan broke another of the three cardnal rules .No drugs of any kind .elan medicated this poor woman .

I would like to know how she is doing ,anyone know? .Yeah Diane I remember Jennifer and she was brutally tortured by elan and its henchmen .She was a nice person caught up in a very unfortunate situation called elan .

Hi Ginger,

Oh I most certainly remember Jennifer. she got general meetings on a religious basis. She got the electric sauce laddled over here head . gottlieb had a thing for coming out sick on that poor girl . Jennifer was tall  thin with light brown hair.

Yeah I was there when they thru her off the dock  down by the lake. One particularly brutal gm they sauced her and Mary O' (those 2 sometimes hung out together) and wrapped them up in sheets just like mummies and had them lay on the dining room floor in this condition for hours, with the electric sause still on them encased. I also believe handcuffs were involved as well.

At one point they decided to (elan and henchmen) drug her into submission. she would stand around for hours  and weeks in this severely drugged condition mouth agape , lips severely chapped and sometimes drooling. Now davidson was the only one that had the MD license and they were related ... go figure Blood is just so much thicker.

From the eyes of a !5 and a half year old kid who came from wickedly abusive childhood, it blew me away how the directors and joe sometimes would get the house all worked up into this bazarre mob mentiality frenzy and then they would bring in Jennifer and the mob would just unlesh its fury on this poor girl.

General meeting were always like that a weirdly directed mob frenzy mentality, it was frightening.

Jennifer was actually a nice person , if you ever sat down and talked with her. she was funny and articulate (of course when she was not drugged) she also played guitar and was a very sensitive person. I liked Jennifer.

Eventually she was thrown out of the house and that is another episode of violence  and maybe some of the 4 plus men who took her back to chicago can relate , from the rumours that I have heard it was  avery sick and brutal trip.

That was the last I saw or heard about Jennifer Stamler.   I wonder how her life turned out , she was only about 18, she would be in her mid fifties now. The stuff that happened to Jennifer I will probably never forget, all in the guise of therapy.

Diane is right what elan and its henchmen did to that woman was simply criminal , elan should be shutdown and its henchmen  kruglik, mccann,gottlieb and the wanna be director, the asssistant zaretski  should in my opinion spend the rest of their natural lives in prison.  ricci took the easy way out.

Matt,
What year did this happen w/ Jennifer. This seems so familar. Nobody talked w/ Dr. Davidson, in all the time I was
there I never once had a conversation w/ him. I remember Mary O very well. This was all at Elan 3 when Jeff Gottlieb
was director there. I think Janet Ramos, Wendy, Neil, Ken Steer were staff. There was a full Coordinater there that ended up engaged to Ronnie Dir. 2a, what was her name. Ken Steer and Joy ? (she ended up pregnant in re-entry, Ken baby).
That place quickly got out of control from late 1973- on. Folks that came in prior really can't relate, I talked w/ someone that came to visit there back in '76 a friend of Jeff and Marty (can't remember his name). He said at that time how much
this place had changed, how violent it was here. How intakes were changing from drug addicts to more challenging cases of violence and emotional/mental issues and that Elan staff could not handle this. He particulary noticed the amount of violence the staff was allowed to use verbally and physically. He asked what I felt I could do to help, I remember just looking at him bewildered just totally powerless to do anything. He talked about what it was like when Elan first opened, most of the residents were older and drug addicted. He just wanted to get clean and not go back to prison.
Long way from there now, sometimes I ask myself what in gods name happened how did get so brutal. Joe and the cult, I
am really beginning to get this cult concept. I used to think yah and I believe in the boogey man, well if you give the boogey man enough power. He is real and intimidating.

Hey Danny.

I got to elan in the 9th of July !974.  Jennifer abuse happened over the following 3 - 4 months  I think she left in october could have been earlier or later.

Any one remember Chris Badger. He was the first cow boy kick ass that I witnessed . Type of gm where the victim gets bounced off of every wall of the house.. I saw his bruises. I saw the wall bow 4 inches inward and snap back in the expeditors office while he was being slammed on the other side in the dining room.

Janet Ramos  very large hispanic woman she drove an opel dark blue or purple ... I think it was purple

Ronnie E had a girlfriend by the name of Pam T. if that is the one you are thinking of.

Wendy did her last name begin with an F. did she have very large hips and a small waist ...seriously not trying to be mean.

Ken Steer light brown or blonde hair

Did you know bob T . Tall indian from Michigan ?

when I left in july of 76 there was no football teams and Allen Frey was still in 6.

Sharon you are correct elan needs to be shutdown and its henchmen be put in prison for the rest of their natural lives.

I will post more about chris Badger gm ...it was sick. I just hope other people remember him. I also hope he survived  what that hell hole did to him.

peace

There was question expressed in another thread (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=32643) re. Dr. Gerald E. Davidson's professional credentials and publications. I thought it more appropriate to respond in this here thread...

Quote from: "Wayne Kernochan"
Two things about Gerald Davidson. One: Either Allenbach is a liar, or he was lied to, because if Davidson was on the faculty at Harvard he would be published many times. He's not. "Publish or Perish" is their motto.

The other is what I do see. He wouldn't be in HPM because he said publicly that Elan's therapy didn't work. That's why he split up with Joe. But here's the thing, in order to come to that conclusion, there had to be a test experiment to base it on. That sounds a lot like us :)
Mmm. Hope you won't take this the wrong way, but... Allenbach is not a liar (at least in this respect).

Dr. Gerald E. Davidson was indeed, at one point, Instructor in the Dept. of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Moreover, he also collaborated on a number of published scientific papers, with a variety of other professionals, usually on topics such as methadone treatment and patient anxiety, iirc.

Keep in mind that Davidson had responsibilities as a practicing clinician in addition to his academic ones, so the lack of umpteen hundreds of citations for a google of his name is to be expected. Davidson saw patients in area hospitals, and also ran and/or was associated with one or more clinics, e.g. that one in Chestnut Hill. Such professional endeavors would be expected to take up a certain percentage of one's time... eh? ;)
His role at Harvard was the same as Elan. He was never there. I've found a grand total of 3 articles he's mentioned in, and none he's written. I asked my wife's brother to check him out, he graduated Harvard. He knows how to get information there better than any ofus.

How did Allenbach study under Davidson at Elan? The man was never there.

Maybe ya got something a bit skewed or not fine-tuned enough re. your search parameters...

Mind you, this is in NO way an endorsement of Davidson or his involvement with or contribution to Elan on *my* part. I just think ya oughta give credit where credit is due, regardless of whether you agree with someone or not.

The fact is, Davidson did work at Harvard Medical School, and Davidson did publish. Here are a few of those publications, in mixed format, such as I was able to rustle up:




   1. Boston
   2. Associate in Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and Assistant Physician, Massachusetts General Hospital (Dr. Stoeckle); Assistant in Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital (Dr. Davidson).

Abstract

Medical clinic patients with "functional" bodily complaints were commonly found to have a depressive reaction. This reaction consists of bodily symptoms and disturbances in relations, both interpersonal (withdrawl, irritability, and resentment) and intrapersonal (depressed mood, loss of pleasure in usual activities, helplessness, and injured self-esteem). The diagnosis is made on the history of a traumatic event which the patient perceives as a loss, rather than on symptoms alone. Diagnosis is important because the bodily symptoms are commonly used as a reason for coming to the doctor, because care of the patient demands recognition of all aspects of his illness, and because rational treatment depends on it. Treatment involves several roles of the doctor and his explicit or implicit use of some psychotherapeutic techniques in his medical practice. Four case histories illustrate these principles.

Stoeckle, Zola, and Rosenberg are all over the internet, and so is Joe Ricci. How is it Davidson isn't? He was co-owners of Elan, his name should be all over the place.

BTW, I put Davidson in search with fornits and still didn't hit on this thread :(

Its funny they didn't come up oh 20 different kinds of searches. But I never put "fornits" in any of them

Just for kicks, my wife had her brother call a friend. Alfred is a doctor, but he got his business degree at Harvard, and has friends. He was there when a group put a fake student through a freshman year, and after nothing on Google searches, he wondered if someone did that here.

Alfred says in an e-mail tonight that Gerald Davidson in fact worked there, but he's remembered the exact same way he is at Elan. Everyone spoke to him once, no one remembers what he looked like, and he was notorious for not being there. For a Harvard professor, this is not a lot, but I don't care because now I have his friends and colleagues names.

Now that I have Alfred I don't need to search so hard :) He's fascinated by the HPM

When I said (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=32643&start=30#p403420), "I don't have time enough to rifle through the entire catalogue of 'Gerald Davidson' posts on fornits at the moment," I was referring to finding "the perfect thread" to continue this conversation in, not to finding Davidson's publications.

To find Davidson's publications online I just did a google with his full name (including middle initial) in quotes. If there was a CV of his still in existence the search would've been super easy, but I didn't have access to that nor did I find one. If one wanted to dig deeper, one could also do author searches in his favored journals. I'm sure there's a database out there more specific to this kind of endeavor but I can't think of it at the moment.

As to Davidson being a "no-show" for most of the time, that's what you get with some of these bigwigs. They "oversee" and delegate most of the day to day stuff. As far as Elan goes, I'm sure that he perused the reports at some point or another, but you probably wouldn't have seen him doing that.

Now... I didn't know nor did I ever meet Gerald Davidson, so feel free to discount whatever I say as a whole lotta malarkey, but... I'd venture that Davidson's primary value to Elan had more to do with his academic credentials and the implied credibility as to Elan's methodology that went along with that, than it had to do with anything he ever actually did or said.

In fact, "those in charge" were probably quite happy that he wasn't around all that much. If Dr. Davidson was almost never there, abuse that he witnessed could be explained away as aberrant and isolated incidents, and written off as the result of dealing with mentally ill and malingering adolescents. And the longer that Elan could prolong the caché that goes along with having a "real doctor" associated with their program, the more credibility they had.

On second thought... just how much familiarity did Dr. Davidson enjoy with Maine's Dept. of Human Services (which seems to function with an incredible degree of cluelessness)? Or with certain particular politicians?

The evidence is long gone on any of these creeps. For Davidson to get so little on a Google search means someone has gone to great lengths to keep him off. My cat gets more hits than him

It makes me wonder why that information isn't there.

If there's anything, Alfred will find it. He knows everyone at the university, but I doubt it.

hi all ,

I have said somewhere before , Ricci had first hand knowledge about the behavivor modifacaton  from Daytop. I doubt he understood how these practices worked . Davidson  had the text book knowledge, and undoubtedly had to explain a lot to Ricci.

Davidison was there at elan a lot in his office . He was always present at family conferences. He did not say much from what I saw at these  meetings. Elan exisited under his medical license (umbrella). He stayed  in his office in Joes big old double wide trailer office deal.

In my  close to two years I saw him on the floor of the house maybe three times ,(maybe he was afeared of the residents ). He did not consul residents in any one on  one sessions . It was odd it was like the old stuff runs down hill. Davidson was at the top  top yet Ricci was the one who did the talking. Maybe Davison could be considered the man who stood behind the soft machine , He had ricci's back so to speak.

Davidson was there not as much as one would expect him to be and not as hands on as one would expect either. Though you can be darn sure davidson read the daily reports and paid attention to progress reports, I agree with Ursus sumation to this  .

His licencse and signature was the key to ricci getting paid by the states  for the states wards that were in that hell hole .after all he was elans medical director. And that carried weight that Ricci did not have ..... Ricci was a non educated  goon and I laugh.... he considered himself the therapuetic director at least that the spot he signed on my certificate of having completede the program . Davidson signed as medical director .

The reason I laugh Ricci had self ordained himself and bestowed himself   (knighted  himself )  that  title though legally he had no training save his experience from being in Daytop. and that title was nothing it carried no weight .  I reckon for Ricci   elan was fun and here people( he knew) looked at him as a God  according to zaretzky , but he really was a pimp strutting ,pimp clothes wearing flamboyant ganster wanna be. And he knew he was running a golden business. I think he was also a sadist.  elan was also his emotinal playground.

Wayne, Davidson was there a lot more than you or I know ,remember we were being occupied by a really nasty ,sadistic  and abusive program at the time with all due respect to you Wayne  and  that pesky little program really did keep us occupied .  . He was there and yes not as much as you would expect him to be  and he was certainly not hands on like you would  think .

I guess you could say he was the man behind Ricci ,who was behind the curtain most of the time . You never saw him but he  knew was there . You could also tell he was there if hisd car was there.  He was a very quiet man. I never really heard him say much and I went to a couple of parent confereces mine and another residents who asked me to be there. the man never said much.An opposite of Ricci ,very smart and I think he really shunned the spot light ,that ricci would have paid some one to constantly shine on him

Ricci could not get the presidantial seal of approval like the Straights did and I wonder why ? You know he wanted it . He was a meglomaniac to the nth degree. It must have killed him when he saw Straights getting all the attrention from Nancy Reagan and both Bushes ....hmmm I wonder why they never thru Ricci  any props ...lol...more than likely it was because elan was  most abusive place on the earth as far as programs went and I bet elan was known and people more thna likely did not want to be associated  with Ricci and his gang of cretins that ran that hell hole.

Peace

Bodily Complaints and Other Symptoms of Depressive Reaction

I can't tell you how many residents I found walking around Elan with ["functional" bodily complaints] caused by a traumatic event either before they got to Elan, while there or both. These kids were never treated by any qualified thereapist and left Elan more disturbed then ever. My personal experience after I left Elan was just total inadequacy and anxiety and my body was as rigid as a board. My stomach was in knots for years.
I can't believe this fucking guy would produce a study on this condition then go on and be responsible for the traumatic damages done to children.

    Abstract

    The percentage of patients coming to a medical clinic with psychological distress was measured by recording symptoms in two studies in the same clinic at different times. The clinical study and the sociological study gave similar results, i.e., over 80 per cent incidence. The different definitions, criteria and measures in previous studies of ‘psychiatric illness’ in medical patients, as well as their implications, are reviewed. Depression was common in the clinical study. Such distress was considered significant in the decision to seek medical aid because of expectations of help from the doctor. That this distress may be related to the decision to go to the doctor is illustrated by case reports. Further validation is suggested by prospective and field studies outside the clinic.

Upon leaving government service in 1966, Captain White wrote a startling letter to his superior. In the letter to Dr. Gottlieb, Captain White reminisced about his work in the safehouses with LSD. His comments were frightening. "I was a very minor missionary, actually a heretic, but I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun," White wrote. "Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the all-highest?

I think Marty wrote a similar letter

The Nixon Administration was, at one time, putting together a program for detaining youngsters who showed a tendency toward violence in "concentration" camps. According to the Washington Post, the plan was authored by Dr. Arnold Hutschnecker. Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Robert Finch was told by John Erlichman, Chief of Staff for the Nixon White House, to implement the program. He proposed the screening of children of six years of age for tendencies toward criminality. Those who failed these tests were to be destined to be sent to the camps. The program was never implemented.

Uh huh

Dr. Arnold A. Hutschnecker, who for many years served as Richard M. Nixon's psychotherapist and who once said that Nixon ''didn't have a serious psychiatric diagnosis'' but had ''a good portion of neurotic symptoms,'' died on Thursday at his home in Sherman, Conn. He was 102.

Sherman is just a stone's throw from New Milford, where Doctor M. Scott Peck spent most of his life. They had to know each other

I have a opinion on the relationship between Dr. Davidson and Joe Ricci and why they initially decide to get together. This is based on the ratio between hard core drug addicts and residents with other issues (if any at all). I will be accounting for the years of Elans opening up to 1973-75. It has always been my opinion that Joe and Gerald did not meet by coincidence. Dr Davidson was involved in Methedone and drug addiction and Joe at one time was a drug addict and was also dealing with the treatment of drug addict, albeit it was unprofessional.
Joe I believe was discouraged by what he saw in the Treatment Centers of the time (Daytop, Marathon House, Phoenix House) not impressed by the money they were generating. Most of the TC's were dependent on State, City, County services for monies, welfare and food stamps (I am talking circa 1968-1970). Joe left Daytop angry over being controlled by his superiors and set out for Meriden Ct. There he helped set up another program for children trying to work with school administrators to take on there troubled kids. Joe tried to set up the first system where he could get the state or city to pay for the kids out of the education budget but I don't think he was successful. Because it wasn't to long before the first meeting between Dr.Davidson and Joe happened a plan was made and off to Maine they went.
Getting back to the ratio between hard core drug addicts and other residents in Elan at the beginning is important for this reason. Because it shows where the focus was for Joe and Gerald, what expertise they brought to Elan (whether false or not) at the beginning stages and what behavioral models they were going to be using for the residents they intended on treating. I believe Elan began/started on the bases that they were going to be treating drug addicts. They had planned on using the leading behavioral model at the time; http://www.williamwhitepapers.com/pr/20 ... atment.pdf (http://www.williamwhitepapers.com/pr/2007ConfrontationinAddictionTreatment.pdf)   The Use Of Confrontation In Addiction Treatment History, Science And The Time For Change
William L.White, MA and William R. Miller, PHD
. (I found this PDF on Fornits   viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23440&start=15 (http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23440&start=15) Dragonfly provided it).
Of course all the education Dr.Gerald Davidson had and the limited education Joe Ricci had was of no use because they both forgot about helping kids and became enamored with getting rich.
By 1973 and on the large part of the population (or money kids) was from referral(ei; Marvin Schwartz from Ill) from institutions within states private pay (parents) and the other large part was State referral which was Joe's baby. He finally got his cash cow.
Elan started to recieve kids with multiple issues that this confrontational model (IMO) only exacerbated the problems for the kids. At this point the staff became frustrated and began to take these emotions out on the kids. By 1974 Joe and Gerald had brought in barbaric methods to deal with kids that they had no idea if success was there or not. Once again (iMO) Joe and his henchmen at this time had reverted to being thugs, back to living on the street and dealing with folks accordingly. This is not a joke or some misconception either, Joe had reduced himself to being back on the street, he was drinking and drugging to excess, chasing women and acting in a very immature manner.
Dr.Davidson knew this was going on with Joe, he knew the violence was going on in the houses, he even participated in it at times. Dr.Davidson started to complain about Joe when he realized Joe was mismanaging the money and cutting him out of profits gained in various enterprises they both owned.
They both had a small idea but had huge egos. Something had to give, sad part it was our (the kids) minds and bodies that gave out.

I understand that the money was there for these guys, but Davidson could have made more money by cutting Joe out and running a less vicious program. He was a Harvard doctor, he could have done many, many things that would have made him more money. Why let a creep like Ricci in on it?

Joe was a shiny object for people to see as they did what they were doing. It kept the eyes off the other people involved. I'm sure of it

I watched "Human Resources" and read the mind control and brainwashing articles, and there were a few commonalities. USC, Yale and Harvard. Stanford is mentioned a few times too. I'm convinced these douchebags were running an experiment in Maine. That's why the state protected them. And, if there's any evidence of it out there, I'm going to find it

They didn't own one of the most notorious programs in the country, and they weren't partners with a media whore, gangster, criminal, gubernatorial douche cunt like Joe Ricci. Between the lawsuits and Elan's popularity, he should be famous.

That Elan was an experiment


That's the thing that keeps coming back to me about it... the thing that I think may make it different.. like an incomplete idea judge floating 'round in my mind - never becoming anything, but never going away either.  I have been suspicious about this for some time, but didn t want to state it, 'til I could figure out more... To be honest, I am not even sure why I think it.. I only know that something is missing from the puzzle, and that I think that this may be it.  My "feeling", or "sense" for lack of a better term, is that it, at least, started out as an experiment, and then once it was in place, continued on, as a profitable "school", as it was there, so why not make money on it, and keep it going.  My mind just keeps giving Elan importance, like there is a mystery there, with a very important conclusion.. One way or another, I may be wrong, but I know that my mind is doing this for a reason.

Honestly Wayne, I am just glad to hear that another person suspects it.... who's not crazy or an idiot.  The idea seemed so far-fetched in my mind..

Any theories as to what the motive was for this experimentation?

I have to admit a part of me hates talking about this.. I hate talking about things where I am lacking evidence and it is possible that the imagination can take over and one get lost in a never ending world of nowhere-ness.  However, so long, as we are aware, that we are merely contemplating a possibility, I would be interested in exploring this idea as a possibility..

If it was an experiment, it had to be for a reason.  What did Joe Ricci stand to gain?

Matthew Israel, who founded The Judge Rotenberg Educational Center 40 years ago, announced Monday he will retire as executive director as of June 1.

The center is a residential educational program for children and adults with severe and life-threatening behavior disorders. It serves 225 clients with a staff of over 850 full-time employees.

Israel, 77, informed the center's board of directors last week that he will move to California, where he will join his wife Judy.

Longtime Assistant Executive Director Glenda Crookes will serve as interim executive director.

Israel received a doctorate in psychology from Harvard University and trained as a behavioral psychologist under Harvard psychologist B.F. Skinner.

I have a few questions for you Dr. Israel before you retire. I herd that educational and child advocate George Deabold has been poking around and looking into your center. I was also informed that Deabold just might have asked the right question or questions that prompted you to retire. Is that true sir ? I know both George Deabold and his org. SchoolWatch both advocate for child Safety, health and education issues. Dr. Israel is it true that Mr. Deabold has contacted both you and The Judge Rotenberg Center ? Dr. Israel is it not true that via a phone call between Mr. Deabold and your staff, that Mr. Deabold informed a member of you staff that he is an education advocate. Dr. Israel, didnt Mr. Deabold also inform you staff that he helps both parents and children obtain appropriate educational classification, placement and services. Dr. Israel, isnt it true your staff offer to send one of The Judge Rotenberg Centers rep's or Sales people to meet with Mr. Deabold. ? Dr. Israel, is it also true that the Center had an interest or was interested in Mr. Deabold possibly sending some of the students he advocates for to The Judge Rotenberg Center? Dr. Israel , did Mr. George Deabold request to feel the full power, pain and discomfort levels of the two skin shock devices that your center uses on children. Dr. Israel, Did Mr. George Deabold ask you about the level of pain associated with the skin shock that JRC uses ? Dr. Israel, did educational and child advocate Mr. George Deabold request to rent, lease or buy both a GED and GED - 4 skin shock device.
Dr. Israel why arent you granting Mr. Deabolds Request ?????

Re. the evolution of JRC from Skinner: Something about that time, I'm not sure what it was, created a hotbed for these types of places. There were a lot of new ideas floating around about the human psyche, and people tried mucking around with those ideas, for whatever reasons... perhaps some of them were even good-intentioned. I guess some people thought they could apply these ideas to solving some of the "problems of the day," e.g., straightening up the "errant and wayward youth" and turning them into productive citizens. It would seem that the idea that one's teenage years are, by definition, turbulent times fraught with stress and filled with a modicum of experimentation, had not yet been accepted as not necessarily a bad thing. Apparently it still isn't. ...Matthew Israel appears to have escaped close scrutiny of his methods and ideology since he focused on a small subset of youth, namely, self-abusing and mentally disturbed individuals whose parents felt they had no other alternative. His target clientele in the early days weren't exactly able to speak for themselves. Now that the Judge Rotenberg Center has started to target more mainstream malcontents, be it for reasons of greed or myopia, we are starting to hear stories of what life is really like there. May the sunlight of this current exposure prove to be the requisite disinfectant needed to put these atavistic barbaric cruelties to rest.

I posted this to see if Gerald Davidson knew Dr. Matthew Israel or Skinner.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Esalen (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Esalen)


The Esalen Institute is a Human Potential Movement think-tank and center in Big Sur, California, founded in 1962. They were central to the development of the Human Potential Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and are sometimes cited as a direct forerunner of the New Age movement. Esalen holds a number of courses, retreats, seminars, encounter groups, and lectures.
Esalen sometimes turns up in conspiracy theories about the New Age movement claiming some nebulous ties existed between Esalen and the CIA or Department of Defense, hence leading to claims the New Age movement is a vast CIA experiment, such as in the conspiracy theories of Texe Marrs and Lyndon LaRouche. For the skeptical movement, such ridiculous conspiracy theories are a distraction and detrimental to serious analysis of Esalen's teachings and the extent to which they incorporate pseudoscience and woo.
A rather wide range of people associated with later human consciousness movements are Esalen alumni. They include psychologist B.F. Skinner and Carl Rogers, Werner Erhard, LSD gurus Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, liberal Protestant theologan Paul Tillich, Zen teacher Alan Watts, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest author Ken Kesey, counterculture figures Jerry Rubin and Paul Krassner, and Buckminster Fuller.

I don't think that you can definitively conclude that Davidson and Israel knew one another based on those few facts alone. They might have known one another, but you really can't say that for sure.

Moreover, from what I understand (which may well be incorrect), Davidson was initially focused primarily on addiction treatment modalities, whereas Israel was constructing a Brave New Skinnerian World for chronic self-destructors. The kids in the Behavioral Research Institute (JRC's original name), would have been unlikely, back then, to have many addiction issues save possibly what Big Pharma had foisted upon them.

It's possible they may have overlapped vis a vis the use of therapeutic communities in treatment, but, here again, there are differences with regard to the target population which may or may not be significant or relevant.

I'm supposing on all of this, but it's pretty compelling supposition. These people traveled in a small circle, so it's reasonable to assume they knew each other. If there's a link I'm going to find it.

Joseph Campbell is the next guy I'm going to check out.

Doctor Peck was from New Milford


Not Joseph, oh well, if he is guilty then off with his head. I am going to cringe though, Joseph Campbell is one of my favorites. His mythology and dream analysis is interesting reading. I feel weird to about Dr.Peck because he was like a folk hero in Ct.

One man who actively sought to be on that list–Charles Dederich–would take a lot from his fanatical AA days when forming Synanon, but unfortunately it did not include Rockefeller’s premonitions nor Wilson’s frugality–and he would have loved to have been on the cover of Time. He went on to prove that absolute power corrupts absolutely. The fact is B.F. Skinner, the originator of a planned perfect society concept, placed value decisions in the hands of behavior modification specialists. And Ms. Rosenberg, that means peer pressure eventually will transmit the illness of anyone’s psychology that no one completely escapes.

Quote
Ms. Rosenberg’s book reminds me of the 1965 book “The Tunnel Back” by sociologist Lew Yablonsky who similarly applauded Synanon’s admitted system of thought reform as a “cure.” Himself a participating square (non addict), Yablonsky was “washed” into writing all Synanon critics were “prejudiced” and “enemies” that had to be stopped, while accurately telling the story of the Synanon process of submitting people to peer pressure to conform, making the analogy to using Thought Reform as described by Dr. Robert J. Lifton in his l962 book Thought Reform and The psychology of Totalism. Yablonsky ate up Synanon’s rhetoric against critics the way the Nazi’s accepted Jewish blame.

Quote
Yablonsky studied sociology and criminology at Rutgers University and in 1958 at New York University for the Ph.D. doctorate. He taught at several prestigious universities, such as Harvard University and Columbia University since 1963 and is a professor of criminology and sociology (now emeritus ) at California State University, Northridge in Northridge ( Los Angeles ). He is also a psychotherapist ( psychodrama ). Yablonsky has published on topics of subculture , the drug therapy and psychodrama , and found that worldwide attention.

The Nixon Administration was, at one time, putting together a program for detaining youngsters who showed a tendency toward violence in "concentration" camps. According to the Washington Post, the plan was authored by Dr. Arnold Hutschnecker. Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Robert Finch was told by John Erlichman, Chief of Staff for the Nixon White House, to implement the program. He proposed the screening of children of six years of age for tendencies toward criminality. Those who failed these tests were to be destined to be sent to the camps. The program was never implemented.

Dr. Larry Brilliant (Wayne State University), is the founder of the SEVA Foundation, and Ram Dass (Harvard faculty-psychology) is a co-founder and advisory board member of the Seva Foundation. Wavy Gravy (Seva founder) was good friends with Timothy Leary (Harvard faculty-psychology)

These people are all attached one way or the other to Esalen, and Aldous Huxley (Human Potential Movement).

The Esalen Institute is a Human Potential Movement think-tank and center in Big Sur, California, founded in 1962. They were central to the development of the Human Potential Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and are sometimes cited as a direct forerunner of the New Age movement. Esalen holds a number of courses, retreats, seminars, encounter groups, and lectures.
Esalen sometimes turns up in conspiracy theories about the New Age movement claiming some nebulous ties existed between Esalen and the CIA or Department of Defense, hence leading to claims the New Age movement is a vast CIA experiment, such as in the conspiracy theories of Texe Marrs and Lyndon LaRouche. For the skeptical movement, such ridiculous conspiracy theories are a distraction and detrimental to serious analysis of Esalen's teachings and the extent to which they incorporate pseudoscience and woo.
A rather wide range of people associated with later human consciousness movements are Esalen alumni. They include psychologist B.F. Skinner and Carl Rogers, Werner Erhard, LSD gurus Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, liberal Protestant theologan Paul Tillich, Zen teacher Alan Watts, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest author Ken Kesey, counterculture figures Jerry Rubin and Paul Krassner, and Buckminster Fuller.

The associations with mind control and HPM and attack therapy is good circumstantial evidence. Good enough to convince a publisher to listen. They'll have better resources than I do. Maybe I can get something concrete with their help

And, Elan may be a tiny part of all that, but they did help spawn an industry of abuse. In the end that's what I want people to know about

Yablonsky studied sociology and criminology at Rutgers University and in 1958 at New York University for the Ph.D. doctorate...
During this time period, and part and parcel of the fieldwork requisite to getting his degree, Yablonsky had a research project involving a residential treatment facility in New Jersey called Highfields, founded by F. Lowell Bixby and Lloyd W. McCorkle.

Nigh a decade prior, Lloyd McCorkle and Dr. Joseph Abrahams worked out a methodology which became known as Guided Group Interaction. This was accomplished under the auspices of the Dept. of Defense during World War II at the Fort Knox Rehabilitation Center for Military Prisoners. It involved what can easily be described as a regimen of "confrontational group therapy."

Along with founding Highfields in 1950, McCorkle went on to work as a warden in the New Jersey prison system, later heading up the entire corrections system for the state. Abrahams went on to work with schizophrenics and the criminally insane at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC and various hospitals, therapeutic communities, and prisons elsewhere.

Yablonsky, of course, went on to discover and extol the virtues of Synanon, becoming one of its more influential fans and apologists.

GGI is the direct progenitor of "Positive Peer Culture," which is in use, in one form or another, at pretty much every program in the TTI (with the possible exception of the IFB homes).

Despite this, despite the warnings of so many other notables, despite Art Barker's total lack of credentials and less than admirable past, The Seed received a $1.8 million U.S. government grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) soon after it opened. And the grant had been administered by the founding director of NIDA who also happened to be the second White House Drug Czar-Robert DuPont. By 1975 Barker had opened four expansion Seeds, but in 1974 both houses of the US Congress had investigated The Seed and produced critical reports with the US Senate likening Barker's methods to the brainwashing methods employed on American POWs by North Korean Communists.

For example, just after Elan opened in 1971 Davidson did an interview for U.S. News And World Report.  He said: "Therapeutic communities largely are run by ex-addicts who have become extremely sanctimonious, like all converted heathen. So the communities frequently are set up in some ways reminiscent  of concentration camps. They shave their patients heads, make them wear diapers, hang degrading signs on them, things like that. In our therapeutic community we do not do this. Our approach is to build self-esteem, and regard for others. We treat one another like responsible human beings. Our residents respond in fashion, and we have no trouble whatever with people leaving."

You have access to his academic writings?  If not, see if you can get access to a university library that will have the journals.  If possible, see if you can locate his master's and doctor's thesis (you'll likely have more luck with his doctor's thesis.)  What you would then be looking at is whether he addresses any colleagues of BF Skinner with them.  A direct address is a gold nugget, but a close colleague of the man might be enough to explore.

While Johnson doesn't directly implicate Murray's experiments, she did conclude that Kaczynski's self-appointed mission as an apostle of "revolutionary violence" was triggered by something he experienced at Harvard.  

A psychological evaluation of Ted Kaczynski conducted prior to his experiences under Dr. Murray found no signs that he suffered from schizophrenia. It's reasonable to surmise that the "mental defect" invoked by his defense counsel was induced, rather than innate.

I don't think MKUltra ended when they said it did. There were a lot of people saying behavior modification would ruin kids lives.I believe they continued it on kids in Straight and Elan. There were lots of programs that had the yelling and all, but these two were extreme, and they didn't fear retribution for what they were doing. They had the green light to do whatever they wanted. They were both founded by people from Harvard. They were both in the middle of the thought reform revolution. They both walked away letting the Jim Jones frontman take the hit for all the abuse

They called the stick they beat him with the "magic stick" and the piece of shit who killed him said "I can be a good king or a bad king" as he killed him

That's such Elan language, that I'm convinced it came from Maine. They're using this shit one not only troubled teens, but mentally ill and autistic kids.

Bain Capital is worth 65 billion dollars. How many fortunes were built off this great crime? My wife's brother went to Harvard Business, and became a doctor at Georgia Tech. He builds medical practices and sells them

Guys like Mitt Romney do it on a scale we can't imagine

I fear this information is going to be hard to get. Rich people have privacy issues :)

It may be the biggest lead if we can show that Dr. Davidson's father worked at Douglas.  It would then demonstrate that those who worked there were given varying levels of CIA secuity clearance.  The CIA is known to offer security clearances to children of agents.  It wouldn't surprise me if all the Ivy League perpetrators's or their fathers worked at Douglas.  I mean, did BF Skinner have special clearances as early as WWII and thus had much interest in behaviourism because of the potential utility for intelligence?

Nothing....except this thread :)

Nobody erases themselves from the public eye like this without help from heavy hitters. I believe the good doctor was working with or for the CIA. I believe the gummint was in Elan up to their necks.

Why else would they send someone to Argentina to pick up a splittee?

Why else would the state let them get away with the shit they did?

I also ask, why did he walk away when the money was at it's most?

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

That was why I said take a look at it.  While it's not concrete, the Douglas Aircraft Company was also building experimental and fighter aircraft, along with satellites and missiles, so it would follow that many of those who worked for the company had some kind of clearances.

"It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison, and yet not free - to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national state, or of some private interest within the nation, wants him to think, feel and act.

 "The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective."

K: Again, I think we need to focus on mind control being a civil rights issue. There are several other pro-survivor groups that are now making the same decision and we’re getting more organized together. We’re realizing this is the way we’re going to have to present it to get the attention we need because as long as we keep calling it ‘mind control’ or ‘ritual abuse,’ it’s too easy for people to put it in a little slot and keep it there.

E: Is anyone writing about that, the civil rights aspect?

K: There’s one group, RAT, Jeanne Sarson and Linda MacDonald in Canada. I believe they’re even going to be addressing the UN pretty soon about it. There’s a movie called Mississippi Burning and a song at the end of it called “Walk On,” a group of black people singing it. Every time I hear that song, I break down and cry like a baby because I realize that even though the song was about black civil rights issues, it applies directly to us. We have to keep on walking on, no matter what happens, no matter what obstacles are in our way, no matter who gets potshots and gets hurt and killed along the way that we love dearly. We’ve got to keep on going and not give up. See, the perpetrators think we’re going to, and so if we do, they win. We can’t let them win, and that’s the bottom line for me. Until I can’t write anymore or talk anymore, I’m going to keep communicating this stuff. I have committed my life to doing this, and I feel a great joy now because I’ve made that decision. I went through several years of stark raving fear because I knew that there might be a great cost for doing this, but then I realized that if I don’t do it, I’m going to spend the rest of my life being miserable because I could have done it and didn’t. As soon as I made the decision, I am at such peace now and feel such joy. It’s really exciting.

Here's the thing - the Douglas Company would not have needed to have done that work.  Rather, by sending the children of the folks who worked there to the Ivy League schools allowed them to work in the Psychology departments (with access to youth), allowed the funding to start up the programs themselves and allowed the necessary means to cover things up if needed.  When you have a father who has a clearance in the CIA, you are given a clearance because you would have possibly seen some of the papers your father was working on.  The CIA then allows you to see what they are working on and might be able to convince that what they are doing makes absolute perfect sense.  So it's not so much a concrete connection, it is probably more concrete if we know if his father worked at such company.  It then follows that if he went to an Ivy League (Harvard), then he would have participated in the studies as a facilitator and not a participant.

They will say they were burned in a fire. This is what I was told as of 1986. So somewhere between 1978 and 1986 all records were burned. This according to Sunny Torres Headmaster/Director of Sp. Ed.

No the fire wasn't before your time. I mentioned the fire happened between 1978 and 1986. I didn't inquire about my school records again till 12/86.
I was told all records psychiatric and school were destroyed.
Elan was able to obtain evals from all institutions I was at, the State of Rhode Island handed them over. I wanted copies was never able to get them.
Either do to my procrastination or theirs. Then at last I was told they burned.

Efforts to investigate the programme were hampered, however, by the fact that the then CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all files pertaining to MK-ULTRA to be destroyed in 1973.

Although the CIA have always insisted that experiments based around MK-ULTRA were discontinued, a CIA veteran, Victor Marchetti, has stated many times in various interviews that the agency continues to routinely conduct disinformation campaigns and that CIA mind control research is on-going.

In a interview in 1977 Marchetti specifically stated the CIA’s claim that MK-ULTRA had been abandoned was, indeed, merely a ‘cover story’.

I don't understand a lot of this, but I know I smell a rat, I'm no expert in psychology or psychiatry, but I'm an expert in bullshit, and everything about Gerald Davidson screams bullshit.

Everyone keeps telling me he was after the money. He walked away just as the money hit it's height.  400 residents x $3,000 a month. That's over a million dollars a month. After expenses that was at least $250,000 a month for him

People say he developed a conscience.

:roflmao:

He left because there was nothing left for him to learn

He later made statements about attack therapy which were based on controlled experiments. We were the only experience he had with it. We were an experiment.

I've queried this a bit and had no success, and I'm good at getting requests, so I assume no one really cares after all these years. But, now I want to know just to know what they were really doing. I want to know what happened to us. I don't want justice, I just want the truth. I'm pretty sure of what that truth is, I just wish I had the research tools to find it

Post by: DannyB II on December 13, 2011, 10:13:40 PM
Joe Ricci and his self destructive outrageous behavior, racetrack and other shady dealing were beginning to grind on Dr. Davidson. I also think he really began to get scared Joe actions were going to take him down with Joe. If Joe had lived I believe his luck at winning lawsuits were going to turn on him. His drug addictions, shady accounting methods and destructive antics were going to help him implode. The money was hemorrhaging faster then the Penobscot River. Dr.Davidson was trying to get Joe to stop spending going so far as suing him. I also think Dr.Davidson was scared for his life. Joe was a crazy son of a bitch even though he acted like a punk.
Put cocaine, amphetamines and alcohol into this man, who knows what kind of paranoid psycho you would have had.
Wayne personally I think that Dr.Davidson was just a plain ole psychiatrist that struck it big. He enjoyed the lavish amounts of money Elan made for him and he could still have a practice 2 hrs away in Boston. He could get away and forget about the horrible things going on up north (fucking coward). Dr. Davidson is guilty of being complicit in one of the countries worst T/C's. Elan systematically ripped through thousands of lives with no regard for emotional or mental consequences.
Dr. Davidson was a sick greedy putz nothing more (IMO). Fuck him!!!!!!
Both Joe and Gerald were glamor boys trying to show off their tuff love, in your face, I'll kick your ass T/C to the TTI during the 70's. many did not buy into this facade (Mark Babitz knows) Ill. pulled him out. Problem was then Rhode Island, Mass and Ct. say...Oh Elan is doing a great job. Look they are helping us clean out are adolescent insane  asylums, juvie centers, are autistic population problem, foster care over population, adolescent homeless problem, adolescent extreme violent problem (rapist, molesters, attempted murderers and murderers) ect......
See I would give Dr. Davidson the benefit of the doubt on your assertions if he at least committed himself to providing some form of care, education or therapy on a consistent bases while he owned and worked at Elan. But he didn't. He didn't perform any experiments, studies or innovative therapy sessions that lasted for any length of time. The only thing Gerald did was cater to his super rich clientele (parent group with child). He made sure one of his cash cows kept milking.
Joe and Gerald came up with a flim flam idea for a T/C and freaked out when it really took off. Joe was the first one to bolt from Elan. Right after he bought the race track. Actually he had started to tune out as of 1977 when he started fucking everything that moved. Sherry had kicked him out of the house when she finally realized she had married a emotional cripple with psychotic tendencies.
Some thoughts I had.

Straight inc people have records because their families were involved. We were out in the woods and kept as out of contact as possible with family, then, when they visited, we had escorts who watched us like hawks.

The first element of an experiment is isolation. That gives you control.

The government was prosecuting Synanon and calling this torture and brainwashing while we were there btw

Elan had a physical abuse license. At least that's what they said. I never saw it. But, if they did, wouldn't they have had to submit those records to someone?

Either of those two things negates the statute of limitations for survivors

Few people in Vermont remember Dr. Robert W. Hyde, but one of his former patients can't forget him. The doctor was involved in one of the nation's darkest chapters in medical science: In the 1950s, Hyde conducted drug and psychological experiments at a Boston hospital through funding that apparently originated with the CIA. Later, he became director of research at the Vermont State Hospital.

Quote
He later became a researcher at Boston University and Harvard University and assistant superintendent at Boston Psychopathic, a hospital associated with Harvard now known as the Massachusetts Mental Health Center – and one of the key institutions connected to the CIA research. Hyde then served as assistant superintendent at Butler Health Center in Providence, R.I., before returning to Vermont as director of research at Vermont State Hospital.

News accounts and histories of the experiments have not mentioned the Vermont State Hospital, but a congressional committee concluded that dozens of institutions, some of which have never been identified, were involved in secret experiments for the CIA.

It's a very interesting circle.

Quote
The Nixon Administration was, at one time, putting together a program for detaining youngsters who showed a tendency toward violence in "concentration" camps. According to the Washington Post, the plan was authored by Dr. Arnold Hutschnecker. Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Robert Finch was told by John Erlichman, Chief of Staff for the Nixon White House, to implement the program. He proposed the screening of children of six years of age for tendencies toward criminality. Those who failed these tests were to be destined to be sent to the camps. The program was never implemented.

Dr. Arnold A. Hutschnecker, who for many years served as Richard M. Nixon's psychotherapist and who once said that Nixon ''didn't have a serious psychiatric diagnosis'' but had ''a good portion of neurotic symptoms,'' died on Thursday at his home in Sherman, Conn. He was 102.

A rather wide range of people associated with later human consciousness movements are Esalen alumni. They include psychologist B.F. Skinner and Carl Rogers, Werner Erhard, LSD gurus Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, liberal Protestant theologan Paul Tillich, Zen teacher Alan Watts, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest author Ken Kesey, counterculture figures Jerry Rubin and Paul Krassner, and Buckminster Fuller.

Dr. Matthew Israel was at Harvard in the early 60's and everyone else you have mentioned were there during the 60's. Israel and Davidson opened practices and eventually programs within New England. A member here spoke of being placed at JRC after their stint at Elan. So right there we know Davidson and Israel knew one another. How or why is another thing.

Campbell is still relevant today as a resource for infusing meaning and mysticism into LGATs focused on male bonding, e.g., Mankind Awareness Project, which also has roots in Werner Erhard's est.

There also seems to be a rather high percentage of Hyde School faculty and graduates who get sucked into MKP...

There was or still is a program for adolescents in Australia which is essentially a spinoff from MKP called Pathways.

41 years in business and the state of Maine hasn't said one negative word about Elan

Why didn't anyone use it against him?

Please don't tell me they were afraid. To the people of Maine Joe was an outsider

Maine politicians would have ate him up

There wasn't enough money to keep them all quiet

Mmm. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility. An intriguing reference is made near the beginning of Marion McGill's story in that article. From  "The CIA's Shocking Experiments on Children Exposed -- Drugging, Electroshocks and Brainwashing (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=38338&p=409845#p409827)," emphasis added:

"As a 13-year old at the time, my decision-making capacity was very limited. I was, by nature, fairly compliant and docile, rather eager to please my parents. I understood nothing of what was being suggested for me and my 15 year-old sister - namely that we participate in some sort of 'research' that both our parents had also participated in. Whether the word 'experiment' was used, I don't recall. The term 'LSD' was vaguely familiar, however, because my parents were 'taking' this drug as a form of 'quick therapy' - their term for it - that had been recommended by my uncle, a psychiatrist at a well known east coast medical school...[/list][/size]
We don't know whether or not that "well known east coast medical school" is Harvard. However, Harvard does fit the description, and did have a number of psychiatrists working with the CIA and/or the DOD on these kinds of experiments at the time.

If there was no fire, then that means one of two things. Either, they have our records somewhere and won't let us have them, or they destroyed them.

Either of those two things negates the statute of limitations for survivors

The girl I met on Maine CLU says that's possible, but she'll check to see for sure

For shits and giggles I sent a formal request for any information the CIA might have on me.

http://https://www.cia.gov/cgi-bin/comment_form.cgi
Cha ching!

Got an e-mail this morning. If their official story is that the records burned, and there wasn't a fire, then they have to produce the records, or you can sue for them, and if they were destroyed  or "lost" it is up to a judge to decide if the statute can be vacated

I'm going to call the Maine Civil Liberties Union and ask them to represent me. I want my records. They made $250,000,000 in the 41 years they were in business. They have to account for it.

I'm also going to write to the proper authorities in Connecticut, New York, and Illinois, and ask if there's any way they can get money back for every child Elan can't account for. That might get someone to raise an eyebrow

Busy busy busy

So, I'm left with the age old motive, greed. When I read the story of Jonathan Carey, the autistic kid that was killed by a caretaker in New York, I read the language. They called the stick they beat him with the "magic stick" and the piece of shit who killed him said "I can be a good king or a bad king" as he killed him

That's such Elan language, that I'm convinced it came from Maine. They're using this shit one not only troubled teens, but mentally ill and autistic kids.

They were getting 1.3 million a year for Jon Carey

How many Harvard douchebags made billions off this industry like Romney did?

Hey, he was there at the time this was going on. Everyone knew what everyone was doing.

Who would be better to help build an empire than a Harvard businessman?

You guys think Mel and Joe got rich? That's what they let you see

Bain Capital is worth 65 billion dollars. How many fortunes were built off this great crime? My wife's brother went to Harvard Business, and became a doctor at Georgia Tech. He builds medical practices and sells them

Guys like Mitt Romney do it on a scale we can't imagine

I fear this information is going to be hard to get. Rich people have privacy issues :)

Mmm. Well, he was already at Hyde by 1973. I'm not sure that he even practiced law, at least not in the more conventional interpretation of the phrase. Perhaps he never even took the bar exam.

Of course, Ed's being ensconced at Hyde, as well as the following decade or so when he tried to take the place over (even managing to temporarily get rid of Joe Gauld, believe it or not), seems to be omitted from more recent versions (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=28733#p345451) of his brief bio.

Quote from: "Hugo Long"
After reading this, I think about Jimmy Shiplett. They gave him a gun, and sent him to die. And he did it

I wonder what happened to his motorcycle

 Golly Ned on a day that "I am just swinging thru "(barrowed that from Setko), something has caught my eye.

Jimmy Shiplett’s motorcycle.  

This blows my mind to see this question so many years after the fact of Jimmy's untimely death. I vaguely remember two residents talking by the bar in the dinning room of house known as three in Poland Spring , Maine . They were talking about how they had not gotten much sleep the night before considering they had been woken up and asked to go pick up a motorcycle from Kenny Zaretzky's place and dump it on the side of the interstate. They also talked about how odd it was , though they did it.

 At the time it did not make any sense to me and it was something I just heard them talking about. These were two residents that had been in the program for a while.

It all makes sense now because when I asked Zaretzky why he had been pulled back in and the story, he told me about his involvement in Shipletts death (in a very matter of fact way, chilling and mind blowing to a 15 and half year old young man) and that he was pulled in to hide him from the authorities questions.

 As I now know it was to protect Ricci’s golden cash cow, Elan.  Elan was just starting to take off as serious money making scam for Ricci. He could not afford any lunacy like this to cast any negativity on his incorporated money making cult. Joe Ricci and his serial child abusing henchmen were more concerned about bilking money from the states for fraudulent and criminal pseudo treatment for those particular states children., than they were about a former graduates death at the hands of another graduate.

It also made Ricci and his henchmen feel like they could do anything and get away with it. Ricci and his cretins that helped him run élan felt invincible. They knew they could do anything and get away with it. Look at how they turned the tables on Mary Leahy and the Chicago child protective services, which incidentally had Ricci and élan dead to rights, into the debacle that it became. This of course is another Elan bedtime story.


The incident with Jimmy Shiplett made me realize just how dark and diabolical Elan truly was and just how sick Kenny Zaretzky was. And at what lengths Ricci would go to protect what we now know as his criminally abusive child mind rape mill .  It made me realize how  helpless and trapped I was in this hell hole called élan at the time.  
 

I know for a fact this is something  Kenny Zaretzky  took with him to his grave. And more than likely something joe Ricci and his henchmen held over Kenny's head till he died.

Eliminate the impossible and improbable, and you're usually left with the truth, but not in that hellhole. Zaretsky isn't taking that story to the grave. In fact, a lot of Elan's dirty little secrets have made the cut for my next book. A lot of other program secrets are going to come up as well. The Game is going to cover the history of this crime, from Synanon, to the Seed, to all of them.

Jeff Gottlieb said it, "Someone ought to write a book about this place."

I have four months to write it, and two editors and agents willing to look at it

Of course, I'll be off the internet for a while.

Famed Chicago forensic psychiatrist, Meyer Krugelik, M.D. who developed the profile that Chicago police used to snare serial killer Richard Speck, has died at age 95.  This is from Joan Giangrasse Kate's Chicago Tribune obit:
 
"After eight student nurses were brutally tortured and murdered in a dormitory near South Chicago Community Hospital in Chicago on July 14, 1966, detectives turned to Dr. Meyer Kruglik, a leader in forensic psychiatry, to develop a psychological and physical profile of the unknown killer. With the help of Dr. Kruglik, the chief of psychiatry at Stateville, the Illinois state penitentiary near Joliet, Chicago police arrested Richard Speck, an Illinois-born drifter who was raised in Texas and had committed a series of smaller crimes. Speck later was convicted of the murders.

WHO WILL BE GOD?



 Who will be God?
 
by Paul Morantz
 ( c) may 2011In February of l974 Dederich publicly acknowledged what they were doing with children was an experiment. But he explained the word “experiment” did not mean a departure from something successful. As an example opt the unsuccessful he spoke of his own upbringing and his failure as a parent.
 
“Now we’re doing something different in Synanon,” he said. “We’re doing something that enrages the rest of the population. One thing you know that I have always used as a rule of thumb is whenever I do something that enrages the rest of the population, I know I am on the right track.

Quote
Worried he didn’t have enough dope-fiends for the IRS Dederich found a new market—juvenile delinquents. He let juvenile probation officers and judges across the land know Synanon could rehabilitate them to. Like the fine job the army had done with his son, Chuck would change the wayward youth. He established the Punk Squad, a boot camp in Tomales Bay for juveniles between 10 and 18 where the newcomers, plus kids deemed disobedient, were routed out of bed at 5 AM to make their beds and stand by at intention for inspection before the morning run led by ex-football player Buddy Jones. The rest of the day was spent at hard work such as digging, building, and tree planting. All had their hair “clipped”. If they showed good Synanon character they could enter synanon school or become apprentices. The concept was the forerunner of the future billion dollar industry of “wilderness camps” and “scared straight” programs for wayward youth.

Quote
But punks were unlike the adult dope fiends who had been through enough and wanted something else. Many of the kids were defiant, arrogant and proud of their ways. “Act as if” didn’t work Dederich had grown too proud to accept their disrespect and too impatient for re-education to occur. He decided to teach them their bettors outright by making a bend in the rules against violence. A punk, he stated, could be hit. Knocked to the ground to get his attention. Dederich called it a return to an old-fashioned educational posture: “We knock a kid on its ass if it doesn’t behave properly. I was educated that way in a Jesuit high school. I think it did me a lot of good to have some great big son-of-a-bitch in a black nightgown occasionally put his nose right up to mine and growl, “Dederich, do you want to have your teeth rattled?”
 The community, as always, mirrored Dederich’s attidute. Rod Mullen, who along with Jones, was in chagrecalled them “wild animals” that needed “house breaking.” It wasn’t long before kids started escaping, taking their chances by running to neighborhood farmers for help even though they had been warned the farmers were likely to shoot them on sight.
 

Quote
Dederich liked the idea. He had the Harvard boys to develop it. Howard Garfield, the boy legal genius and divinity student, and Steve Simon who had researched Synanon’s history. It wouldn’t be hard to back up. Didn’t Guy Endore struggle with it in his book in the 6o’s? Maillet just two years ago made the analogy. And didn’t they worship by gaming in a Stew Temple. They had holidays, The Night of The Great Cop Out, Mad Dog Saturday. Their own version of Passover with bent spoons. It wasn’t such a big leap to go from a small “r” religion to a big “R” religion. It was really all done with words. Game loops were now religious sashes. They could be whatever suited them best at the moment. They could flip the religious box. No one had to give up any religious affiliations. Synanon was an add-on religion. It wasn’t centered on a story of God and creation. But about the worship of the spirit of man and a religious dedication to his betterment.
 
In August of 1974 the Board unanimously proclaimed Synanon a religion and Synanon III was born. In the eagerness to do so forgotten was the question handwritten on the bottom of Garrett’s religious proposal:
 “Who will be God?”

Stanley Milgram was born in 1933 to a Jewish family in New York City,[2] the child of a Hungarian father and Romanian mother.[3] Milgram's father, Samuel, worked as a baker to provide a modest income for his family until his death in 1953 (upon which Stanley's mother, Adele, took over the bakery). Milgram excelled academically and was a great leader among his peers. In 1954, Milgram received his Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from Queens College, New York where he attended tuition-free.[1] He applied to a Ph.D. program in social psychology at Harvard University and was initially rejected due to an insufficient background in psychology (he had not taken one undergraduate course in psychology while attending Queens College). He was eventually accepted to Harvard in 1954 after first enrolling as a student in Harvard's Office of Special Students

Quote
Obedience to authority
 

In 1963, Milgram submitted the results of his Milgram experiments in the article "Behavioral study of Obedience". In the ensuing controversy that erupted, the APA held up his application for membership for a year because of questions about the ethics of his work, but then granted him full membership. Ten years later, in 1974, Milgram published Obedience to Authority and was awarded the annual social psychology award by the AAAS (mostly for his work over the social aspects of obedience). Inspired in part by the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, his models were later also used to explain the 1968 My Lai Massacre (including authority training in the military, depersonalizing the "enemy" through racial and cultural differences, etc.). He produced a film depicting his experiments, which are considered classics of social psychology.

Wikileaks has published the video and transcript of an investigative report into "est" (Erhard Seminars Training) guru and Landmark Education Forum godfather Werner Erhard by CBS News, originally broadcast on the program 60 Minutes on March 3, 1991. Excerpt from Wikileaks article:
 


Both, video and transcript, have been published at various points in time, but are not publically available anymore due to legal threats against publishers from Werner Erhard.
The material contains interviews with friends, business associates and family of Werner Erhard making serious claims against him. Erhard is accused by family members of beating his wife and children, and raping a daughter, while still giving seminars on how to have relationships that work. The story also includes interviews with two former staff members of Werner Erhard: Wendy Drucker (a senior manager) and Dr. Bob Larzelere (head of Erhard's counseling staff).

The current incarnation of the est training is now known as Landmark Education, with its course the Landmark Forum. Landmark Education is run by CEO Harry Rosenberg, who is Werner Erhard's brother, and General Counsel and Chairman of the Board of Directors Art Schreiber, who has acted as Werner Erhard's lawyer. Werner Erhard's sister Joan Rosenberg also sits on the Board of Directors of Landmark Education.

Still, it's what we don't have that looks like the biggest mystery. Why is Gerald Davidson not published?

Everyone around him is. Allenbach is. Everyone. But him.

I called Ellen Gershow back since she didn't get back to me. (She's the estate lawyer) I told her that I'm a researcher who wanted some information on Doc tor Gerald Davidson, and she hung up on me ???

Why would a Harvard professor warrant that? Dude's been dead nearly 20 years, why does she even remember him?

Was my brother, Ted Kaczynski (AKA “the Unabomber”), a sort of “Manchurian candidate” -Harvard-- programmed to kill by our government in a CIA-funded thought-control experiment gone awry?

McConnell was one of the targets of Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber. In 1985, he suffered a hearing loss when a bomb, disguised as a manuscript, was opened at his house by his research assistant Nicklaus Suino.

Quote
1970 Psychologist James V. McConnell, in an article called "Criminals Can be Brainwashed Now" in Psychology Today, writes "...I believe that the day has come when we can combine sensory deprivation with drugs, hypnosis and astute manipulation of reward and punishment to gain almost absolute control over an individual's behavior. It should be possible to achieve a very rapid and highly effective type of positive brainwashing that would allow us to make dramatic changes in a person's behavior and personality..."

Richard J. Herrnstein (May 20, 1930 – September 13, 1994) was an American researcher in animal learning in the Skinnerian tradition. He was one of the founders of quantitative analysis of behavior.
 
His major research finding as an experimental psychologist is called "matching law" -- the tendency of animals to allocate their choices in direct proportion to the rewards they provide. To illustrate the phenomenon, imagine that there are two sources of reward, one of which is twice as rich as the other. Herrnstein found in his research that animals often chose at twice the frequency the alternative that was seemingly twice as valuable. This is known as "matching," both in quantitative analysis of behavior and mathematical psychology". He also developed melioration theory with William Vaughan, Jr.
 
He was the Edgar Pierce Professor of psychology at Harvard University and worked with B. F. Skinner in the Harvard pigeon lab, where he did research on choice behavior and behavioral economics. In 1965, and with Edwin Boring, Herrnstein authored 'A Source Book in the History of Psychology'.

The Society for the Quantitative Analyses of Behavior was founded in 1978 by Michael Lamport Commons and John Anthony Nevin. The first president was Richard J. Herrnstein. In the beginning it was called the Harvard Symposium on Quantitative Analysis of Behavior (HSQAB). This society meets once a year to discuss various topic in quantitative analysis of behavior including but not limited to: behavioral economics, behavioral momentum, Connectionist systems or neural networks, hyperbolic discounting, foraging, errorless learning, learning and the Rescorla-Wagner model, matching law, Melioration, scalar expectancy, signal detection and stimulus control, connectionism or Neural Networks. Mathematical models and data are presented and discussed. The field is a branch of mathematical psychology. Some papers resulting from the symposium are published as a special issue of the journal Behavioural Processes

Abstract:
 
This report responds to a directive issued to the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights to conduct an investigation into behavior modification programs, with particular emphasis on the federal government's involvement in the technology of behavior control and the implications of this involvement for individual rights. Two basic considerations motivated the investigation: first, the concern that the rights of human subjects of behavioral research are sufficiently protected by adequate guidelines and review structures; and second, the question of whether the federal government has any business participating in programs that may alter the substance of individual freedom. Although the material included in this report is by no means comprehensive, some initial findings are apparent: (1) there is widespread and growing interest in the development of methods designed to predict, identify, control, and modify individual behavior; (2) few measures are being taken to resolve questions of freedom, privacy, and self-determination; (3) the Federal government is heavily involved in a variety of behavior modification programs ranging from simple reinforcement techniques to psychosurgery; and (4) a number of departments and agencies fund, participate in, or sanction research involving various aspects of behavior modification.

In 1971 Richard Herrnstein wrote a long article on intelligence tests in The Atlantic for a general readership. Undecided on the issues of race and intelligence, he discussed instead score differences between social classes. Like Jensen he took a firmly hereditarian point of view. He also commented that the policy of equal opportunity would result in making social classes more rigid, separated by biological differences, resulting in a downward trend in average intelligence that would conflict with the growing needs of a technological society.[70]

Don't wanna hijack this thread, but...

I have in hand a 17 page brochure from Élan circa 1985. In it, at the end, there is "A summing up and postscript from Dr. Davidson." In this postscript, Dr. Davidson claims he is an "Élan parent" twice over.

I'll have this scanned in soon, will post if there's any interest.

I also have some Élan progress reports and Pinehenge documents. Lots of names in these things I had never heard of, especially as it relates to the "school" portion of the program. Some Harvard connections are immediately apparent googling these folks.

Here's the relevant portion as it pertains to Davidson claiming he put his own children through Elan. However, given the totality of the marketing brochure and the very apparent skirting of the truth throughout, I find it hard to believe he put his own kids in Elan.

If Davidson wrote that I now know why he's unpublished--He stinks

If he had two kids in Elan, how did that escape rumor?

Here’s some rare footage of an experimental LSD session that I came across doing research for my next book, a group biography of British writer Aldous Huxley, philosopher Gerald Heard, and Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. It’s from a television program, circa 1956, about mental health issues.

The researcher, Dr. Sidney Cohen, was dosing volunteers at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Los Angeles. Aldous Huxley, who first tried mescaline in 1953 and wrote about it in his seminal book, The Doors of Perception, got Gerald Heard interested in the spiritual potential of psychedelic drugs.

Heard then turned on Bill Wilson, guiding him on an LSD trip supervised by Dr. Cohen in the summer of 1956 — perhaps in the same room we see in this video. Wilson, who started AA in the 1930s, thought LSD could help alcoholics have the “spiritual awakening” that is such an important part of the twelve-step recovery program he popularized.

Heard and Huxley set the stage for better-known psychedelic research of Timothy Leary, Richard “Ram Dass” Alpert, Huston Smith and Andrew Weil, who are profiled in my 2010 book, The Harvard Psychedelic Club.
