"What we call 'normal' is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection and other forms of destructive action on experience. It is radically estranged from the structure of being. The more one sees this, the more senseless it is to continue with generalized descriptions of supposedly specifically schizoid, schizophrenic, hysterical 'mechanisms.' There are forms of alienation that are relatively strange to statistically 'normal' forms of alienation. The 'normally' alienated person, by reason of the fact that he acts more or less like everyone else, is taken to be sane. Other forms of alienation that are out of step with the prevailing state of alienation are those that are labeled by the 'formal' majority as bad or mad."

Scientology - en gang til

Jeg ser, at jeg skylder Scintology en undkyldning: I et par tidligere blogindlæg har jeg beskyldt Scientology for hjernevask, hvilket altså ikke er holdbart. "Der finder ikke hjernevask sted i Scientology,..." siger sociologen og eksperten i Scientology Peter B. Andersen her, og han må vide det, bedre end mig. Så, 3 - 0 til Scientology i forhold til psykiatrien: ingen hjernevask. Heller ingen fysisk hjerneskadende "behandling" eller tvang. Og hvad Scientologys psykiatrikritik angår, så bygger den, som sagt, på meget velrechercherede facts. Hermed altså: Undskyld! til Scientology.
