Bonnie Burstow, A Ph.D professor at the University of Toronto is an idiot.
 
She’s started a crusade against Psychiatry and biological psychology, personally starting a grant (and a field) called “antipsychiatry”. She argues that there is no physical basis for mental illness, and that current treatments are ineffective.
 
Her arguments come from the past, using ideas of how the mental health community used to function as a way to demonize it in its current form. This comes at a time when our understanding of the structure and function of the brain is growing by leaps and bounds.
 
It doesn’t surprise me that her biggest donors belong to the Church of Scientology.

Reminded me of my chemistry teacher in highschool who was so nitpicky on him HAVING to be referred to as doctor, and we all thought his Ph.d was in chemistry or a similar field, nope it’s psychology. Ha… Nothing against the actual field, have a lot of respect for it, but the way he tricked us all… Gah

I wish Scientology could just be a religion instead of the world’s most popular shady business/mafia. If it were more mainstream I bet it could be put in anime and shit.

It’s not a ponzi scheme, they just make you pay a shit ton of money for things that are worthless (or at the very least should cost 100x less than they charge for). That’s just a scam but it’s not a prosecutable scam since they don’t lie about what they give you.

Well, there are those that would argue that many religions are a scam to take your time and money.
 
But yes, Scientology is a recognized religion, unfortunately.

Pretty sure there is a major religion in the world that has a man who sits on a throne of gold, and wields a golden stick. Faith is very profitable.
