"Brettstam should be grateful"

The products from psychiatry is questioned

-Psychiatrist Ulf Brettstam should be grateful for the help from Narconon instead of acting like a bigott preast whom fighting anyone with another belief.

Says Gullevi Almgren, PRO from the Church of Scientology in Stockholm , where they follow the Narconondebate with interest. Almgren states that the position of psychiatry hardly has been strenghten in view of the events lately , for example the massacre on a street in Stockholm, where a "product from psychiatry" caused great damage. [ A man drove his car on a street for walking.several injured people my comment] Almgren thinks that Brettstam is "striking blindly" in his attacs on scientology and think it is pathetic of him to uphold the statement that L. Ron Hubbard once has requested psychiatric treatment for free. Gullevi Almgren dismisses the statement as false. At that peticular time , the founder of the Curh of Scientology was very busy in his writing activity and research. The Hubbard Brettstam is talking about has to, if he exists, be a totally different person, Almgren says and ads apropos the E-meter, that it was permitted by the authorities after a minor change in the text. Almgren tells that the E-meter is used on a daily basis by scientologists who has the required education.

Anyone who has seen an E-meter realizes that it is not as easy to fabricate as Brettstam states. In his broadsides against the Church of Scientology , Brettstam is totally forgetting that the debate in fact was about Narconons rehabilitation of drugaddicts. He is at that acting in the same way a bigott bigott preast does against movements with an other belief than his own. Psychiatry of today regards drugs as universal means aginst any human problem. From this viewpoint Narconons drugfree method, naturally is a thorn in the side. If you really want to help people become drugfree , you ought to wellcome every offer of assistance instead of immediately attacking? Almgren thinks. The conflict between psychiatry and religion , as scientology, lays in the understanding of man, Almgren says:

Psychiatry denies the soul and has put the brain in Gods place. Scientology has the proof of the human spiritual nature and the therapeutic force she is in herself. She does not need drugs to solve her problems, but a spiritual technology. Gullevi Almgren thinks that any comparisional evaluation between psychiatry and Scientology should be expanded to a comparison between spiritual and non-spiritual methods. This could mean "no treatment at all ". That is the kind of evaluation I prefer considering the big amount of dangerous psychopaths being "produced" and the enormous costs these bring upon society as well as sufferings. The man who recently drove down people on a "walkingstreet" , killing one and injurying several , evidently was such a "product"

If Brettstam, understandably enough, does not want to question psychiatry, we the taxpayers ought to, says Gullevi Almgren.
