'Dianetics' - For seekers of prefabricated happiness — Herald Tribune
More: erich-fromm.de
Type: Press
Author(s): Erich Fromm
Source: Herald Tribune
Never have people been more interested in psychology and the art of living than today. The appeal which books dealing with these subjects have is a symptom of a serious concern with the human rather than with the material aspects of living. But among these books are some which satisfy the need for rational guidance and others appealing to readers who look for prefabricated happiness and miracle cures. Dianetics is the latest in this series of books and the author uses ...

Books industry: Best seller — Newsweek

Type: Press

The first book since Thomas Merton's "The Seven Storey Mountain" to show signs of becoming a runaway best seller is a 452-page work, published May 15 by Hermitage House, that projects a new science of mental health. Called "Dianetics," it is the work of L. (for Lafayette) Ron Hubbard, a 39-year-old civil engineer, radio and film writer, veteran of the armed services, and successful author of scientific fiction. According to Hubbard, memory is not a faculty of the mind alone, but ...

[...] Sir: We think, even though your description of the mechanics of Ron Hubbard's Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health [TIME, July 24] is fair and accurate enough, that as a whole your treatment is . . . unduly derisive. While it is probable that there are people who make a cult of dianetics, that fact is irrelevant. The only issue is whether or not it works toward making people more happy and more sane . . . Sane ...

The Dianetics craze — The New Republic

Type: Press
Author(s): Martin Gumpert
Source: The New Republic
It is not so much the content of this book which deserves analysis as its effect on the average reader's mind. Dianetics has been steadily climbing on the best-seller list since its publication, and, next to the spectacular success of the Velikovsky book, its popularity is the most frightening proof of the confusion of the contemporary mind and its tendency to fall prey to pseudo-scientific concepts. The book opens with the statement: "The creation of dianetics is a milestone for Man ...

A cure for all ills — The Nation

DIANETICS: THE MODERN SCIENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH. By L. Ron Hubbard. Hermitage House. $4. ORDINARILY, a new book which offers a generalized cure for all the ills of mankind — guaranteed, within twenty hours — would not be reviewed in these columns. This new book on "Dianetics," by L. Ron Hubbard, however, is in a class by itself. In the first place, the author seems honestly to believe what he has written. His own powerful conviction, in turn, seems to have ...

We were surprised but flattered the other day when a phone call reached our office from L. Ron Hubbard, the secretive and rarely seen founder of Scientology who reportedly died in 1986. He had a problem he felt only we could solve. You see, he said in recent years things had been looking up for the group. The Clinton administration had given the church back its non-profit tax exempt status (which it lost in the 1970s when a group of the ...
