	Dianetics
		Dianetics™ is the name given to a set of principles designed to explain the functioning of the human mind, and as a system for curing some forms of mental and psychosomatic illness.
		Dianetics is by some regarded as a pseudoscience, as it presents itself as a "scientific" system of knowledge, yet fails to meet the requirements of the scientific method.
		Dianetics is the seed from which the philosophical framework of Scientology grew, and on this basis the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health is often jokingly referred to as The Old Testament by Scientologists.

	Dianetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The central practice of Dianetics is "auditing", in which a "pre-clear" (usually with the assistance of a counselor called an "auditor") attempts to confront the engrams in his reactive mind, thus treating the wide variety of conditions that they cause.
		Dianetics is the secular predecessor of Hubbard's "applied religious philosophy," Scientology, and it is still employed and disseminated by the Church of Scientology.
		Critics of Dianetics are skeptical of this study, both because of the bias of the source and because the researchers appear to ascribe all physical benefits to Dianetics without considering possible outside factors; in other words, the report lacks any scientific controls.

	Operation Clambake: Consumer Reports, August 1951
		Dianetics is the title of a book (and a "science") which, for many months, held its place as a best seller in the non-fiction field.
		This lack of modesty does not of itself prove that dianetics is not comparable to the discovery of fire, or superior to the invention of the wheel and arch.
		If some of the formulations of dianetics are incomprehensible to the modern physician, the reason for its success, the reason why it has caught on so with all sorts of people in all walks of life is not incomprehensible.

	Dianetics
		Hubbard tells the reader that dianetics "...contains a therapeutic technique with which can be treated all inorganic mental ills and all organic psycho-somatic ills, with assurance of complete cure...." He claims that he has discovered the "single source of mental derangement" (Hubbard 6).
		There are broad hints that this so-called science of the mind isn't a science at all in the claim that dianetics is built on "definite axioms" and in his a priori notion that a science of mind must find a single source of mental and psychosomatic ills.
		The goal of dianetic therapy is to bring about a "release" or a "clear." The former has had major stress and anxiety removed by dianetics; the latter has neither active nor potential psycho-somatic illness or aberration (Hubbard, 170).

	L. Ron Hubbard developed Scientology and Dianetics, which claims to make enlightenment scientifically achievable
		The seeds of Dianetics were planted in the mind of its creator, explorer-thinker-author L. Ron Hubbard, by a series of cytological experiments he conducted in 1937.
		After his experience with the POWs, Hubbard began the formulation of Dianetics primarily on the premise that it is the mind that acts on the primal directive of survival and, in turn, directs life in the effort of survival.
		Dianetics terms any individual who is yet to erase his/her reactive mind a 'preclear' as opposed to a Clear—the term given to a balanced, effective and whole individual who has erased his reactive mind entirely through auditing—having discharged all physical and emotional pain from it and recovered the memories that pain had covered up.

	Martin Gardner Evaluates Dianetics
		DIANETICS (from a Greek word meaning thought) is a new science of the mind discovered by Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, a popular writer of science fiction.
		One of the most important of the many branches of dianetics is what Hubbard calls "preventive dianetics." This consists in exercising great care to prevent the formation of engrams while a person is unconscious or when there is a possibility an embryo may become unconscious.
		The case histories of dianetics are not one whit more impressive than the hundreds of testimonials to be found in young Perkins' book on the curative power of his father's metallic tractors.
