The Gaddy Therapeutic Center is a fairly small clinic in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta. Its focuses are therapy and psychoanalysis through the use of dream sharing and infiltration. Because guests at the Gaddy Center are almost always volunteers, this use of infiltration is not expressly forbidden by the law, though the clinic is eyed carefully by the authorities.
The psychologists employed by the center are required to have earned at least a medical degree in psychology or a closely related field. Only those clinicians who are experienced in dream sharing are allowed to treat patients through that method. Others are retained for the purpose of prescribing medicine or treating more traditional patients. The center also employs social workers, who manage the clinic's inpatient population.
Patients may participate as outpatients, and visit once a day or week or at other intervals as suggested by their doctor. Others enter as inpatients, and move into the facility until they are discharged by their attending physicians. The center accepts just about anyone who feels that they are in need of treatment, but they specialize in treating conditions that are caused or fueled by past experiences or tendencies, such as learned phobias, posttraumatic stress disorder, or other such ailments.
The clinic usually houses its inpatients in double rooms, except in potentially dangerous cases, which are placed in single rooms or cells. The patients then abide by a schedule of therapy, activities, and group sessions. Food is served, and visitors are allowed in the evenings. Sedatives such as tranquilizers are used only when necessary.
