  • Qui Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?’1
    The History and Development of Body Psychotherapy: ‘Qui custodiet ipsos custodes?’1 Abstract This article, part of a series on the history of Body Psychotherapy (Young, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011), covers some of the shadow or darker aspects of the complex process of development of this branch of psychotherapy; essentially some of the eccentric aspects of the people who created a method; or some of the difficulties that arise from the methods when a few schools teach courses that are not really Body Psychotherapy; or what happens when something starts to go wrong. I have tried really hard not to libel, or accuse, or offend, anyone in particular; I have also tried to be discreet in that I do not ‘name names’: my purpose is only to illustrate some of the pitfalls that can happen, and have happened, within Body Psychotherapy, and that we may therefore need to be more aware of and on the watch out for in the future. Key Words: Body Psychotherapy, History, Europe, Ethics, Abuse, Sects, Cults. Introduction Some of the rich developments and benefits in Body Psychotherapy that derive from all the different methods, influences and from the various contributions from the very gifted post- Reichian innovators, such as Alexander Lowen, John Pierrakos, Chuck Kelley, Stanley Keleman, Malcolm Brown, David Boadella, the Boyesens, Jay Stattman, Lisbeth Marcher, Yvonne Maurer, and others, have mostly already been mentioned (Young, 2010). However, something must now be said about some of the disadvantages that have become apparent within the profession over these post-war years of development. The following caveats can apply equally to some of the body-therapies, as well as to the Body Psychotherapies, and also to some of the other (possibly more radical) non bodily-oriented psychotherapies.

  • Personality Testing in the Church of Scientology: Implications for Outcome Research
    Personality Testing in the Church of Scientology: Implications for Outcome Research John H. Wolfe San Diego, California Abstract. Many fields of modern society require scientific proof of effectiveness before new methods can be widely accepted, as in clinical trials for new drugs, educational evaluation for teaching approaches, and outcome studies for psychological interventions. Previous outcome studies on the results from Scientology services are reviewed and found to be inconclusive. The paper is devoted to the question of whether the existing data base of several thousand case histories could be used for outcome studies. The existing data contain personality test scores on the Oxford Capacity Analysis (OCA) administered before and after scientology services. A detailed analysis of the OCA demonstrates that it was derived from the Johnson Temperament Analysis (JTA), a psychological test of poorly documented validity, by paraphrasing its items, copying its scoring weights and transforming its test norms, with some alterations. It was concluded that the OCA is presently unsuitable for outcome studies, but that this situation could change if additional research could demonstrate that the OCA had validities comparable to other personality tests. For future use, it is recommended that an entirely new version of the OCA be constructed with completely original items, simplified scoring weights, and empirically derived norms, and that its validity and reliability be demonstrated prior to implementation. Keywords: Scientology, outcomes, OCA, Oxford Capacity Analysis, validation One of the most controversial of the new religions to arise in the last century, Scientology defines itself as “an applied religious philosophy dealing with the study of knowledge, which through the application of its technology, can bring about desirable changes in the conditions of life.” (Hubbard, 1975, p.

Formerly clear- cut standards in terms of life-styles, values and the meaning of life have become less and less binding. New life-styles and new sources of meaning are evolving and compet- ing with each other. At the same time, the individual is expected to be highly efficient, as well as highly flexible, mobile and willing to take decisions. This leads to a great deal of uncertainty. Both as a response and as a reaction to this development, a plethora of new religious and ideological communities and psychogroups has emerged in the past 20 years. Some of them offer alternative life worlds in which individuals hope to find caring, a sense of community and orientation, as well as ªrefugeº from the demands of society, or opportunities for religious devotion, or meaning in their lives. Other groups, however, promise ªideal adaptationº to the challenges of the modern age by suggesting to individuals that they will able to increase and strengthen their efficiency to an unrealistic extent.

    17 THE SECT: SCIENTOLOGY Scientology personnel. Many recruits first attend a free public lecture or nominally priced Personal Efficiency Foundation Course. These courses are devised to interest the public in Scientology and draw them into further commitment. A P13 Foundation is a programmed drill calculated to introduce people to Scientology and to bring their cases up to a high level of reality both on Scientology and on life....PE Foundation in its attitude goes for broke on the newcomers, builds up their interest with lectures and knocks their cases apart with comm course and upper indoc,...Never let anyone simply walk out. Convince him he's loony if he doesn't gain on it becawe that's the truth... Under the broad heading of attachment the factors which led to the emergence of some initial firm commitment on the part of those recruited to the movement will be examined. From the material available, three bases of affiliation can be discerned: cognitive, experienhal and affechve. By vog1litive grounds are meant bases for further commitment of a primarily intellectual kind. For example, a doctor cited earlier attended an introductory Scientology lecture and found it stimulating, the lectuTer was talking ahout practical life and relationships in simplified terms about three concepts involved. I was tired of reading academic books containing r7 theories of learning which had no bearing on the way one actually lives.

  • Dissertation on Cults – Stephen Mutch
    1 FROM ‘CULT’ TO ‘RELIGION’ A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN ARTS IN THE SCHOOL OF POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES BY STEPHEN MUTCH MA LLB (UNSW) STUDENT NUMBER: 7441258 JULY 2000 2 PREFACE The narrative of this thesis has concentrated on government action against Scientology in Victoria in the 1960s, where legislation was preceded by a wide-ranging inquiry which set a precedent for other states. Research has been conducted primarily at the New South Wales Parliamentary Library, with further research undertaken at the Victorian Parliamentary Library and the Department of the Parliamentary Library, Parliament of Australia. Additional newspaper reports have been obtained from the State Library of Victoria and the Australian National Library. Research has focused on government reports, parliamentary proceedings, newspaper reports, legal cases and propaganda emanating from the Scientology organization. The amount of primary material available on the public record alone is enormous, and more than sufficient for the purposes of this dissertation. However, there is a paucity of academic material in the field of government responses to „cults‟ and consequently little theoretical or conceptual analysis. It is intended that further research will be conducted in this field for a PhD dissertation. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Considerable courtesy has been extended to the author in the NSW Parliamentary Library, in particular by Shaun Smith and Greig Tillotson. Thanks is extended to the presiding officers and Chief Librarian Rob Brian for allowing the use of this excellent research facility. I would like to express my appreciation to Associate Professor Elaine Thompson of the University of New South Wales for supervising this thesis and Dr Max Wallace of the Continuing Education Department of the Australian National University, for commenting on drafts.
