Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health
BY L. RON HUBBARD
Published in 1950
I hold a Master’s degree in Nuclear Engineering from M.I.T. I am also conversant with Buddhism. I spent 12 years in Sea Org of Scientology from 1971 to 1983. I believe I am qualified to critique DIANETICS.
I am writing my critique one chapter at a time. Please follow the links to see the comments.
