In September 1969, Ted Clark, Dennis Jaffe, and Yvonne Durchfort
(now Yvonne Jaffe) started "Number Nine", a crisis telephone line.
Initially this was an attempt to discover from young people
themselves exactly what the needs of young people were, in order
that a program relevant to those needs might be developed. The
crisis line program, in itself, proved useful and meaningful to
young people as they began calling in increasing numbers. Since
many community agencies - through their insistence that young
people cooperate with a value system that does not engender trust -
alienated themselves from these young people, it became
increasingly imperative that the crisis line expand its resources
to include counseling, a crash pad, a residential program, and a
drop-in center. As an alternative to those agencies who insist on
viewing drug use as a problem per se and who do not focus their
attentions on family, school, and personal relationships in
general, "Number Nine" offered realistic and reachable solutions.
Originally published in 1973, Toward a Radical Therapy is a
collection of essays concerning numerous issues which the authors
encountered during the development of an alternative service - an
organization which reflects the values and experiences of young
people (the counter-culture), rather than the values of the
established social order, as a necessary step toward helping people
cope with their problems. The ideas expounded in these working
papers are the outcome of experiences and experiments in attempting
to effect personal and organizational changes basic to creating an
alternative culture. Concurrent with the writing of this book, the
authors discovered numerous conflicts occurring at all levels of
program and institutional development, as well as within
themselves. Personal changes become necessarily interrelated with
social change and organizational structuring. Counseling had to be
redefined as existing theories and methodologies were limited in
their ability to comprehend the constant changes that youth were
undergoing at the time.
