Has the medical credibility of Dianetics increased over the past 50 years?

My understanding is that Hubbard claimed scientific evidence to support Dianetics back in the 50s, which the medical community did not recognize.


Is that still the case? Are more and more doctors recognizing the value behind dianetics, or are they still skeptical 50 years later?|||Anyone can claim "scientific evidence", especially a science fiction author. You see, authors use many sources to put together a piece of work, much like one researches for writing a term paper. So, the information the author chooses, is only going to be that which would support that person's claim, and make it appear as if they are correct. There was and never has been medical credibility as far as this issue goes. There are many other groups very similar in mindset that also have "evidence", it's all a bunch of hot air. Science fiction writers are not scientists, doctors, chemists or researchers.|||I'm reading Dianetics right now. From the book: Dianetics has nothing to do with the science of Medicine or Psychology which are inexact and rely on treatments which cause more insult to the mind/body. It's a totally different way of reconnection. Anyone can do it.

What was hogwash then is still hogwash today.|||There is no medical credibility behind Dianetics. Your understanding is incorrect. medical doctors do not consider dianetics any more then they do voodoo.


Its not science, its a business used to make money.|||Medical practitioner cannot recognise the value behind dianetics .They are always going to be skeptical about anything else unless there are evidence for its place .


Just like acupuncture , homoeopathy and many others unconventional branch of medicine , they weren't acceptable to start with , but they are now . Will Dianetics prove its case ? Only time will tell .......
