Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health is L. Ron Hubbard's self-help booklet, proverbial to Scientology and one of the most sold self-help books out there. How much of this is because of his followers buying massive quantities of it in order to artificially boost sales is an exercise left to the reader's imagination.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Very briefly, the book proposes the idea that everyone unconsciously carries a physical pain or painful emotions that must be repressed in order to achieve self-fulfilment. The rest of the book gives you tips to do it.Considering LRH and his followers’ status, we ask that you please remember the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. | |

All Psychology Is Freudian | |
| Dianetics / int_31fa019d | comment |
All Psychology Is Freudian: Dianetics has strong influence from the works of Sigmund Freud and the importance of the unconscious in directing our everyday behaviour, and repressed thoughts being the basic reason for your mental instability. Though Hubbard would later deny this as part of his tirade against psychology. | |

Lava Adds Awesome | |
| Dianetics / int_6b35788c | comment |
Lava Adds Awesome: The cover and television commercials for the book usually feature an erupting volcano. There's no official explanation for what a volcano has to do with Dianetics, but volcanoes do factor into the Scientology story of Xenu. | |

Artistic License – Medicine | |
| Dianetics / int_8d6d9535 | comment |
Artistic License – Medicine: Let's just say that most of Hubbard's theories about mental health were first rejected by the scientific/medical community in the 1950s, and they haven't garnered any more acceptance to this day, and leave it at that. | |

Cure Your Gays | |
| Dianetics / int_9ce377f1 | comment |
Cure Your Gays: The Church disputes this, however. One spokesperson claims that homophobic bigots may have edited in all the anti-gay content. | |

Orwellian Retcon | |
| Dianetics / int_cf57aca1 | comment |
Orwellian Retcon: Hubbard re-edited the book several times as the years passed. The book you can find today is very different from the original published in 1950. The Orwellian part comes in when practitioners were told to go out and clear away any older "editions" they could find when a new "edition" came out, thus making that newest edition the only edition. | |

Footnote Fever: Lots of them, explaining terminology. It quickly reaches Viewers Are Morons territory. | |
