Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Greyhound therapy is a perjorative term used in the USA healthcare system since the mid-1960s in reference to the practice of mental-health authorities buying a ticket on a Greyhound Lines bus interstate to get rid of possible "troublemaker" patients.[1][2]

The practice is still in use in certain mental-health circles.[3][4]

Diesel therapy (a/k/a "motorcoach therapy") is a similar term for the practice, and is meant to be sarcastic to the point of ironic.
