Dianetics

The Modern Science of Mental Health
Book • 1950
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, written by L. Ron Hubbard, presents a pseudoscientific system aimed at treating mental and physical health issues.

The book posits that the human mind consists of two parts: the 'analytical mind' and the 'reactive mind'.

The reactive mind, according to Hubbard, stores traumatic memories called 'engrams' which cause aberrations and various health problems.

The book describes 'Dianetic auditing' as a method to eliminate these engrams, leading to a state called 'Clear', characterized by superior IQ, moral purity, and improved mental and physical health.

Despite its claims, Dianetics has been widely criticized by scientists and medical professionals for lacking scientific evidence and being pseudoscientific.
