Yep, we all know that people get into psychology and psychiatry because they have a life long dream to hurt, drug, control and abuse other people and get paid for it.
Of course, CCHR and Mercola are where everyone finds all of the "
reliable" information, and any one who tells you different is a shill for the drug companies and the psychs.
Since sarcasm does not come off well in writing:
I AM BEING SARCASTIC!!
I wonder how much projection was involved in Hubbard's hate for psychs. It could not have all been because his unsupported, pretend scientific study of the mind was thoroughly trashed. He thought his insight into the human mind would make him the hero of the psych world not a laughing stock.
Here is list of reviews and at the source for the list (

Although real science of the mind has progressed quite a bit since the 1950s, Hubbard's ideas (his few original ones, not the ones he stole from others) are stagnant and smell worse each year due to rot.
