Removed original research non-sequitar to this article to paste on the discussion page. ~~~~)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health is a book by L. Ron Hubbard setting out Dianetics self-improvement techniques. The book was officially published May 9, 1950. It caught the public imagination and became a nationwide best-seller. Due to the interest generated, a multitude of "Dianetics clubs" and similar organizations were formed for the purpose of applying Dianetics techniques. Hubbard himself established a nationwide network of Dianetics Foundations, offering Dianetics training and processing for a fee.
In the book, Hubbard covers his isolation of the dynamic principle of existence and provides his description of the human mind. He states the source of all human aberration is the reactive mind and its engrams. He then developed counseling (auditing) techniques for getting rid of engrams. This is still the technique used by Dianetics-trained counselors today.
