Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand and I can beat the world into submission.
If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

I'm not defending the methods of scientology- quite possibly the reason they despise psychiatry is cos, at heart, the two are pretty similar- both quack systems that target the vuinerable.

It's attitudes like yours that make people delay getting proper medical care until they wind up in the ER with a paracetamol overdose because they didn't "believe in" psychiatry.

There are a lot of differences, Dave, and I find it horribly offensive that you would equate a group of physicians to a group of money-grubbing religious fanatics.

Would you comment on the lobotomy stuff I posted about, or does the fact that it happened in the past make it irrelevant?

It's far from the only atrocity committed by the psychiatric profession- I'm sure I don't need to remind you why the term '"hysterectomy" sounds so much like hysteria? (cos psyciatrists felt that 'hysterical' behaviour in women- ie anything not conforming to the norm, could be 'cured' by removal of parts or all of their reproductive organs.

Especially in the context of the UK psyciatric profession, here and now, routinely treating 'disruptive' school children of ages as low as 8, with drugs that make their behaviour 'acceptable' i.e. doping them.

They used to treat these kids with institutionalization, with repeated punishments, with expulsion, and other such methods. The results were horrible.

its not an argument about methods but motivation phyciatrists genuanily want to help even if they make mistakes or are misguided at time scientology is simply about trying to control people who ultimately can be disgarded if they are no longer usefull to the church

but, seeing as they're scientific disciplines that're subject to self-scrutiny and peer review, I'm willing to bet that psychiatry and psychology are improving and refining whereas scientology is just about getting your money. I really don't think that there's much alturism in it, given what I've seen on websites linked from this thread.

Concerning scientology-
Which is the topic of this thread. If you're just having a go at psychiatry, well that's something for another thread.
