Greyhound Therapy

The act of purchasing a non refundable bus ticket and shipping a crazy person that the mental institution does not want across state lines into another mental institution's catchment area. They see to it he gets on the bus then they pray that he actually makes it out of state before he messes up again.

This is done so as not to mess the institutions statistics up. If he makes it across state lines he is counted as "cured" If he messes up across state lines he is somebody else's problem.

Problem mental patients cam mess up an institutions stats very badly in this era where everything must look good on paper. Some of the direct care workers may have a "Thank God and Greyhound He's Gone" party if he successfully gets across state lines. Unofficially of course.

Old Tim was a problem mental patient. He got tired of beating up on aides and nurses and decided to go for bigger game. So he went to the social worker and told her that her pussy stunk.

The social worker decided it was time for some Greyhound Therapy for Tim. Once Tim was gone she got a couple of the aides fired for allowing Tim to say such a thing to her.

flashlight therapy

Flashlight therapy is the process of beating someone with a large flashlight eg Mag-Lite to help them come to their senses. Often used by police officers. Can be prescribed by doctors when they become irate with annoying patients.

- My head hurts after that flashlight therapy last night!
- James bought a large 4x D-cell anodised Mag-Lite to help him see in the dark, and also to help others "see the light".

Wilderness Therapy

Basically a nicer way of saying boot camp. Anyone that has been sent to wilderness therapy can tell you first hand how horrible it is. You sleep in the middle of nowhere with people you have never met. You aren't allowed to do anything fun, and "therapy" isn't what goes on, "brainwashing" is...so be very careful. You have to "earn"(a.k.a.) work your way to leaving the hell hole. The staff that work there are all hippies and are annoying as fuck. Showers do not exist and you can forget about clean clothes, pillows, talking to your parents, knowing any future information, or running away. No one has ever made it out, and getting caught running away will get you sent to worse places. Anyone that attempts to escape these types of places is pretty damn courageous, but extremely stupid. The best thing to do when sent to these places is to listen to everything the people working there tell you to do. Your only priority should be getting the hell out of the place. Words can't truly describe "Wilderness Therapy," ask anyone that has been and they will respond the same way. Those places are not places you ever want end up at. Don't fuck up kids, because nothing...and I mean NOTHING is worth being sent to a "Wilderness Therapy Program."

Hannah: Did you hear about Emily?

Anna: Yeah, her parents sent her to "Wilderness Therapy" Whatever the fuck that is

Hannah: Ooooh shit...this is bad. My cousins friend was sent to one of those places and he is in the army...

Anna: Sooo...what's your point?

Hannah: Anna...He said that the experience was far worse than anything he's seen... and he's in the army...

Anna: Oh Shit...this is bad. We got to break her out.

Hannah: Damn Right! Let's go. We're coming for you Emily!!

Airline Therapy

Airline Therapy - Cheap form of mental health where two or more unaquatinted people can chat and share their most personal thoughts with each other in the uninhibited environment of an airline flight. The fact that in 2-10 hours these two people are going to be going there separate ways, never to meet again, produces an uncommon candidness. With the advent of the internet this concept can also be applied to chat rooms & instant messenger.

The flight was a killer, however my seat mate provided 3 hours of the best airline therapy I've had in a while. It really cleared the cache. Do not confuse this with, "The Mile High Club".
I originally read about this in a USA Today Life article back in the early 1990’s. The article talked about the conversations that people have with total strangers on flights.

Bullpen Therapy

A practice that involves transporting prisoners back and forth needlessly from jail to jail or precinct to precinct. Named so because the cell looks like a bullpen, symbolically representing the fenced in area of a "bull's pen", where bulls wait before being sent off to the slaughter.

"Going from central booking in Downtown Brooklyn to Rikers Island is bullshit bullpen therapy!"
