Prior to launching his book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health on May 9, 1950, L. Ron Hubbard refined his auditing techniques by experimenting on many people over a period of several years. As mentioned previously, Hubbard’s original Dianetics methodology was based upon his fusion of hypnotism, Freudian psychotherapy, and Sargant’s systematic trauma reduction.

There was never any psychogalvanometer present in Hubbard’s original system of Dianetics.

Hello @Karen#1 ,

Are you aware of the works of Carl Jung.
This is a topic that seems to me has never been addressed, but Carl Jung, after he quit Freud, did a lot of research regarding the soul, the consciousness, archetypes, and among his work, he used the power of words, using a meter to measure the needle reaction upon listing words..

The more I read about his works, the more I think Hubbard may have use his work as a base to an attempt to heal the sou. Carl Jung has also been into mysticism stuff and was regarded as the soul healer of his time, the father of modern psychology.

Anyway, just to let know!
