- aggregation title "A religion too far: a historical and qualitative study on how ex-Synanon members value critical incidents that might have led to the downfall of their utopia".
- aggregation abstract "Background: Although Synanon has been extensively studied, attention has seldom paid to the question of how the many ex-members who left Synanon before or at its dissolution “survived” their community and indoctrination, and how they now evaluate their involvement. Aims: This paper explores how ex-members react to their previous affiliation to Synanon, the cradle of the therapeutic community (TC) for addiction. A series of critical incidents, following Synanon’s public proclamation restyling itself as a religion, which led to the dismantlement of Synanon, are highlighted and contrasted with the achievements of the movement. Method: For this research study we used a social constructivist methodology. Following qualitative snowball targeted sampling, open interviews and text analysis, 14 statements, representing the main reactions, were retained. These served as the basis for a web-based survey. Results: It was found that ex-Synanon members still believe in the positive realizations of their experience. On the other hand, they are not blind to the negative aspects of this time but tend to deny, or perhaps do not know, that the proclamation to become a religion was in fact initiated by the inner circle and that this was the start of the dismantling of the organization’s value system and the introduction of strange and inappropriate behaviour. Conclusions: The article emphazises the potential powerful and longlasting effects of “community as method” as a means of indoctrination of values. It endorses the opinion that the drug-free concept-based therapeutic community operates within the framework of an effective belief system that encourages and reinforces behavioural change. It is therefore critically important to ensure that present-day therapeutic communities remain open to the views and expectations of society.".
