THE GAME
Synanon attacks the psycholog1cal addiction to drugs through "the
Game" (above). The Synanon "Game" is essentially uniohibited coo–
versatloo (Synanoo took 1ts oame from ao addict's garbled pronunciation
of "sympos1um aod sem1oar"). Addicts recognize the "dope-fieod
persooality'' 10 themselves, so they get these personality weakoesses
out 1nto the opeo 10 the "Game." The Children of Synanon members
enter a well-equipped, highly successful experimental school at the
age of six months and cootioue through high school (left).
