Remember, we’ve already seen a psychotherapy go by the boards. I’ve gotten results with that psychotherapy; it’s called psychoanalysis. Why didn’t it ever take the world? I think they were so busy trying to handle PTSes and SPs on an individual-practitioner basis, with absolutely no rundown, that they could never complete their research. Now, they might have found some of our sub-zero material, if they’d continued to research. But psychoanalysis had a certain degree of workability. We shouldn’t … [Read more...] about Lecture: Handling the PTS (1965)

Lecture: Geriatrics (1962)
You should understand that one of the longest searches man has ever indulged in has been that of longevity itself. And the study of living longer is Geriatrics. I, by the way, was one time a leading light in the American Society of Gerontology. What do you feed men to make them live longer? Well, there are many such preparations. Women: there’s equinprivine, stilbestrol — the female hormones. Somebody gets beyond forty or something like that, why, they ought to start shooting them with a bit of … [Read more...] about Lecture: Geriatrics (1962)
Lecture: Auditing Quality (1961)
So you can actually get somebody who gets terribly anxious for hospital treatment because he's never had any treatment in a hospital, you got the idea? He's kept going to hospitals but they never treated anything. And he just gets into a total anxiety, you know. He wants treatment, he can't have treatment, and - and there it goes. And he'll get into a terrific wingding. So it makes quite a problem. And it goes over into auditing. And auditing would almost inevitably have its roots in circa … [Read more...] about Lecture: Auditing Quality (1961)
Lecture: Can’t Have, Create – Fundamentals of All Problems (1961)
You’ll go into a community, you’ll arrive here on Earth, it’s a new area to you, and you start looking around, and you see this happening and that happening, and the other happening, and it doesn’t make any sense to you at all. Well, you don’t know what the law has been. So therefore, you can’t read the opposites because your games condition is going to bring into existence the reverse. If you run a can’t have on people, they’re going to create it. It’s very interesting. You take a district, … [Read more...] about Lecture: Can’t Have, Create – Fundamentals of All Problems (1961)
Lecture: Seminar: Withholds (1961)
I remember an Air Force major who all of a sudden turned up on my front doorstep and wouldn't tell me his name. It was very weird. I did - I went along with this just as a gag almost. But I processed him every afternoon for an hour, and at the end of the hour-because he couldn't give me his name and address, you see, and it was all not-know anyhow, and everybody- why, he'd hand me a fifty-dollar bill. Which is kind of-very amusing-handing me money anyhow-because I don't-normally will take the … [Read more...] about Lecture: Seminar: Withholds (1961)
Lecture: Story of Dianetics and Scientology (2) (1958)
And during the war - during the war, I had some very interesting experiences on the subject of the mind. I was on one ship that had about seven hundred men on it, and we were getting two people a week going mad. Two people a week went mad on that ship. That's an awful lot of people going mad. But in view of the fact that we had no replacements, they were simply left on duty for the most part. We particularly contested taking off duty one chap who had had the bad taste to want shore leave in … [Read more...] about Lecture: Story of Dianetics and Scientology (2) (1958)
