People think of professional practitioners as doctors, who, aloof from other concerns, practice on the sick. This is a very novel idea, however. It was dreamed up, probably, by the first lazy witch doctor and used forever thereafter by most mental specialists. Let’s banish that idea from amongst us all.
If we are doctors (by which might be meant “repairers”), then we are doctors on the third and fourth dynamics, the dynamics of groups and mankind as a whole, and we handle the first (self) and the second (sex and family) only to achieve better function on the third and fourth.
The third and fourth dynamics subdivide. Any third dynamic breaks down into many activities and professions—a neighborhood, a business concern, a military group, a city government, etc. The fourth breaks down, just now, mainly to races and nations.
We find ourselves, for instance, today, with the job of cleaning up the whole field of mental health. That is at least what it calls itself. Mental “health” has been perverted for something over half a century into an excuse for a Belsen or an Auschwitz (the sites of two Nazi concentration camps during World War II). It’s an operating climate of danger and chaos. That field couldn’t even begin to clean itself up. It was unaware of or cold to human rights. It had no technology that worked, upon which to base any actual professional ethics. As we do in Scientology have the technology and the ethics, we inherited the job.
