Description: Hubbard talks about Dianetics for postpartum psychosis.
Mamie Schultz has a postpartum psychosis1. What’s the first thing that Mr. Schultz thinks of? He thinks, “Quick, where is an auditor?” He can’t do anything about it himself probably. He’s too close to her, so he has got to have an auditor, and the auditor gets a postpartum psychosis to handle that could have been broken by psychoanalysis it is so simple. It’s one of those easy ones where all one has to do is say to the patient, “You’ll feel all right,” and they feel all right.
Then everybody says, “Oh, Dianetics is wonderful because look at what it did for Mamie Shultz.”
