Dianetics

In Scientology, Dianetics is put forward as a methodology to alleviate unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses. Developed by L. Ron Hubbard in the late 1940s, Dianetics was coined from the Greek words dia, meaning "through" and nous, meaning "soul". Hubbard's interpretation is "what the soul is doing to the body."

While Scientologists teach and apply Dianetics and consider it a valid science, it has never been recognized as such by the scientific community. It has been referred to as pseudoscience and some have claimed that it could possibly be dangerous to the patient.
