Is Scientology like hypnotism, psychotherapy or other mental therapies?
There is no resemblance whatsoever. In fact, it was as a result of L. Ron Hubbard’s investigation of hypnotism and many other mental practices that he saw the need for practical answers to people’s problems. Mr Hubbard also wished to be able to undo dangerous psychiatric practices including mind control and brainwashing. These alleged mental therapies don’t work because they treat man as an animal “to be conditioned”. Scientology is truly workable because it recognizes that man is a spiritual being who is basically good and can find answers to life’s problems and can improve enormously. Factually, Dianetics and Scientology free people to think for themselves.
