In the 1960s, Outward Bound came to the United States through the Outward Bound school in Colorado. Other schools quickly began to use Outward Bound as an adjunctive experience work with adjudicated youth and adults (one of the first programs in 1964 offered recently released prisoners a job at Coors Brewery if they completed a 23-day course). In the late 1970s, Colorado Outward Bound developed the Mental Health Project. Courses were offered to adults dealing with substance abuse, mental illness, being a survivor of sexual assault, and other issues. In 1980, Stephen Bacon wrote the seminal adventure therapy "The Conscious Use of Metaphor in Outward Bound", which linked the work of Milton Erickson and Carl Jung to the Outward Bound process.
