Agreed - good point. As for me, this weekend I may visit my local TC
(the Pretoria Bar) where I will drink therapeutic beer and engage in
therapeutic discourse (about football)!!

Well I think that the fact that it might be therapeutic, and it might be
a community, doesn't make it a Therapeutic Community. If I understood
correctly, it is basically a place where people get together and play,
and it is an alternative to sports and other activities. Well I think if
we can call this a TC, then it would also be appropriate to call a TC to
every sporting team, and every event in general where an individual gets
something out of it.
All the best,
Pedro
