en 1950 w:L. Ron Hubbard Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health Dianetics https://archive.org/details/dianeticspowerof0000hubb/ w:New Era Publications 1999 1-903820-14-6 59128428 220 https://archive.org/details/dianeticspowerof0000hubb/page/220/ In psychology, Dianetics drops into line without disturbing anything concerned with staffs or research or teaching posts, for psychology is simply the study of the psyche and now that there exists a science of the psyche it can go ahead with a will. Thus, Dianetics is the enemy of none, and Dianetics falls utterly outside all existing legislation, none of which anticipated or made any provision for a science of mind.
