DIANETICS: The Original Thesis by L. Ron Hubbard Published 1948 Dianetics: The Original Thesis is a scholarly treatise, written by L. Ron Hubbard in early 1948, to present the basic causes of human behavior and the resolution of mental aberration and psychosomatic illness to the medical and psychiatric societies. Over three years of testing actual Dianetic techniques went into the final manuscript. It was originally issued in carbon copy form and was copied and recopied by doctors and others throughout the United States and passed from hand to hand. Called “Abnormal Dianetics” at that time, it elicited many letters from medical and psychiatric readers, but due to their skepticism or shortsightedness, few gave sufficient attention to it. Noting this, Ron turned his attention to reaching the public directly by writing Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science and Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. The manuscript had been read by some at the Hubbard Dianetic Foundation and there was a popular demand for the text to be made available to all. So, to meet this demand, the first hardcover edition of The Original Thesis was published in Wichita, Kansas, in December 1951. Later, in April 1954, the entire text of this book appeared in the Journal of Scientology, Issue 28-G, under the title Scientology: A New Science. The current edition has the terms changed to modern usage; for instance, the word engram instead of impediment, and auditor instead of operator. Opening this book, you will find chapters on the Primary Axioms, the Dynamics, Engrams, the Tone Scale, the Auditor’s Code and the famous “Laws” of Returning. At the end are three Case Histories. As a record of L. Ron Hubbard’s researches it is a fascinating account, but, more importantly, in this text Ron makes his original and perhaps most basic statement of those timeless truths which dispel Man’s ignorance. 160 pages, hardcover with dust jacket, glossary.
