A Scientologist on psychiatry and the pharmaceutical industry

This is a great article giving one Scientologists view of psychiatry et al. I tend to agree.

By PROCESSING is meant the ‘verbal exercising of a preclear in exact Scientology processes.’

By PRECLEAR is meant ‘a person who is receiving processing.’

There is a great deal of terminology and precision in these processes and their use, and they are not combinable with older mental activities, such as psychiatry, psychology, psychoanalysis, yoga, massage, etc.

However, these processes are capable of addressing the same ills of the mind as are delineated by older methodology, with the addition that Scientology is alone in its ability to successfully overcome those psychosomatic ills to which it is addressed. It is the only study known which is capable of producing marked and significant increases in intelligence and general ability.

Scientology processing, amongst other things, can improve the intelligence quotient of an individual, his ability or desire to communicate, his social attitudes, his capability and domestic harmony, his artistic creativity, his reaction time and his well-being.
