You say it is unscientific nonsense, but prove that any of the statistics and studies were not accurate or that the events that took place in the clones did not happen. And while it may be true that economics was a motivation, economics are part of the motivation for everyone on these issues. . Ex-members have no idea how close they all came to being arrested for conspiracy of RICO violations. I am still not in the same league with Dr. Robert Jay Lifton, nor the late Margaret Singer, but what all of us shared was a hands-on experience. Former Synanite Dr. David Deitch, then a Phoenix House director, has stated, A client must have the choice of leaving treatment, even if the youngster is on probation and the alternative is jail.(19) Richard Ashley wrote in Heroin that, The only power of decision the member retains once he enters a TC is the decision to leave. Dr. Efren Ramirez, founder of Phoenix House, has said that you dont rehabilitate a person against his will..

Many are dead, many are in prison ,and worse many roam the earth as emotional cripples from just having come in contact with Joe Ricci,and his henchmen that helped him run the Elan Corporation. Some of the kids when graduated became counselors for cheap wages, and there is probably nothing more vicious than an 18 year-old who was abused and now given the power to abuse. By 1971 Dederich would submit that while 10 to 12,000 people had gone through Synanon only about 10% stayed free of drugs for as much as 2 years, which was similar to the statistics everyone else concluded, which were the same at Lexington Hospital when Synanon was founded. According to newspaper articles of the day he has publicly disclosed, Ive smoked pot, popped pills, but none of the hard stuff. Hereceived a degree in psychology from a mail-order company in Florida.

Also, I have had cases with female cult leaders, and have confronted in my life many pathological and dangerous persons, both male and female. But that questionwhile interestingis really moot; the fact is that while shelter and support is of assistance, the Synanon system based on hate (as stated by Dederich) and punishment was not only a failure but its achievement in publicity, like a Synanon movie starring Ed OBrien, has led to 50 years of horror to countless victims all over the world and continues to do so. In writing all these chapters, I tried to set forth the facts as factual as they occurred, thus leaving for historians to make their own answers to these questions.

I'm not doing that. Because he had lived for so long surrounded by yes people, he had no understanding how others would see his actions and thus was very open in admitting what he did, including that violence could not happen unless he approved it. None of us were hardcore drug addicts. My discussion is on the known today dangers of a hatchery (abandonment syndrome) which Susan Richardson wrote about, the psychological affects of attack therapy which can cause psychological damage, including psychotic breaks (which happened at Synanon) and how everyone finally bought into the enemy at the door who were all prejudiced against them and finally reduced Synanon to a state of mind where propaganda ruled over truth, all the ideals were tossed out and a growing comparison to the Manson family was in place. I was not for that idea, because I saw most members as victims. Thank you again Paul for taking my call back in May of 2011,and for taking an interest in the Elan cult.

One feature of Seed was the Spanking Machine where a childs father must publicly whip his kid before the large peer Group.

Mental health service. .relinquish all independence and subjugate themselves to these staff and senior residents, accepting humiliation and total control of their lives even to the extent of accepting complete direction of their sex lives. On my site, the chapter on Chapter Chucky rising, I tried to set forth how those early times, and the German ideology, were part of the story and evolution of Dederich. "He was just this big, masculine, Italian, strong guy that loved his boys. We're going to pillage the town! It exposes the cruel abnormal policies, practices and propaganda the Synanon children were forced to endure in a so-called modern America. But that idea was bantered by law enforcement as because of the wire, and the wire logs, knowledge could be proven against all who stayed in support.

Elan maybe closed though we as survivors are not finished ,we are still seeking justice, and we demand justice for those that did not survive. So is the eventual years later reverting to a longing for the days of comrades and cause. Rogers had been referring to the dangers involved with a kid participating in a typical Synanon Game with 11 people yelling at him, where he could fight back verbally, where he could leave if he chose, and where there was no physical violence. This program was called MATRIX. Its a calculated risk. In the book The Tunnel Back Yablonsky, Dederich and another Dr. discuss that the Synanon system is similar to Dr. Liftons discussion of Chinese brainwashing. 1 talking about this. Synanon was discredited in the late 1970s and 1980s as its violent record was exposed. If you examine the full context, Janzen avoided anything that might lead him to information contrary to the views he wanted to present.

Students quickly found themselves in a new, strange, uncomfortable and often frightening world of intense group relationships and heightened, invasive and violent group therapies. Once again, her counselors said that she was faking when she complained. They must be lies because you cant live with any other thoughts. Fatherhood has made him more cognizant of how much trauma he experienced as a child, as it has for other former Synanon kids who have become parents. Margo I agree I looked at every branch. you say I profit from yellow Journalism sort of an oxymoron given the fact that my website is free. Brill studied 2,100 admissions to Phoenix House and found a 96% drop out rate, and of the 4% who graduated, 25% had become staff there. He was a great man and kind human being. We have multiple groups dedicated to ending the TTI (Troubled Teen Industry) as well, that work in conjunction with mine, this is how I discovered this story! He also admitted violence could not occur without his approval but he forgot the details due to his stroke. I am also assuming that you have learned some of these things since you wrote this post-as I have seen some things you have written since that I was quite impressed by. If you have a complaint it is with Yablonsky and Janzen who had no understanding of the Synanon system. Even today, some ex Synanon members, including many who had claimed they were harmed and/or were critical upon leaving, have played an on-line version with each other that slowly brought them back into the fold, confessing what others want to hear and afraid to say what they dont. I use a voice recognizing system and then I have to go back and edit many times. But there wont be any room for the kind of people you are now. But I also concluded that Synanon would always be dangerous because of the nature of the Synanon game. my last chapter in my book did just exactly what you asked which was put my what you call myscholarly talents on the American cult. In 1972 he reported on the case of a 12 year old boy who had been admitted, along with older clients, to a second generation Synanon called The Odyssey House in New York City. For comparisons please get my book Escape: My Life Long War Against Cults. Yet at the same time, the noise Synanon made did wake up people to the idea, not yet existing, that cure was possible. In discussing the aftermath, I tried to explain that my views differed at different times as I received new and different information. Im not pleased about it, a lot of people got hurt and if your part of the Justice system that should bother you. Paul please post this comment and not the other two thank you sir. Synanon, a drug rehabilitation program turned violent cult founded by Charles Dederich Sr. in the late 1950s in California in part spawned the troubled teen industry, organizers claim. I asked him how he could write a book on Synanon without ever interviewing the person who fought it. Originally a nonviolent group, Diedrich created the Imperial Marines to maintain orderwithin and outside of the community. According to Department of If it had ended there, Synanons legacy would be far different and it would probably still be there. Yet by the time Synanon shut down in 1991, its model had already been widely copied. Yes it was a tough nut to crack and in part due to the protection it recieved. It cant be denied that Charles Dederich in many instances, while playing Skinner, was ahead of the times with positive ideas. There is likely truth that allowing contact with past relationships might lure someone to leave or want to get high, but that is the persons choice. by Link To The Synanon Survivors Group And Future Photo Library I find I edit better after I posted and edited this one about 5 times so far. Justice For Our Angels. And they didn't do that.". I also believed that Synanons many clones, adding doctors, and other proper variations, had established successful drug rehabilitation. Many have the support of state agencies, because of the past publicity for Synanon, unaware of what happened in California and assuming therefor these programs worked. Kids were assaulted and restrained without cause and all the rest. Did you change partners? Do you realize that over 80 people were attacked? Books have steadily been written stating the same, perhaps the best was Help at Any Cost: How the Troubled-Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids by Ms. Maia Szalavitz. It quotes statements I did not make but Dederich did. The story of Synanon is how one man took good people and turned them into terrorists. "I am not bound by the rules," Dederich said, according to a 1978 PEOPLE story. As stated above, as Dederich believed this, his squeezes and toss outslike old timer Bill Crawford was willfully sentencing one to death for CEDs ego and financial gain. Facing seven-figure legal judgments, despite ties with the Bush family and Nancy Reagan, it closed in 1993. In 1993, Dr. DuPont testified that the progenitor of Straight was Synanon and that those places which used Synanons methods are called therapeutic communities and that there are two rules for these therapeutic communities: No Sex and No Violence. The money was too good; parents panicking at the finding of a joint and willing to pay exorbitant amounts of money to anyone with the sales pitch, never quite understanding the tortures and deaths that awaited. Eventually, the future could only be Orwellian. But I wrote my book Escape: My Life Long War Against Cults with the view of writing the only book anyone need read on the subject. Sincerely Congratulations. So, as stated, when Dederich also admitted his notions were intended on each occasion to drive people out, so only the fanatical remained, and he profited by the resulting lowering cost, he was in fact knowingly in his view sacrificing former addicts to untimely ends for profit. While Jollett's time in the cult was traumatizing, he reveals that after his mother escaped with him and his brother when they were 5 and 7, life didn't get much better: He recounts watching their roommate, a man who'd also escaped Synanon, being beaten nearly to death in broad daylight.
